We have officially opened the doors to our new Discovery House at Alconbury Weald, a David Wilson development

We have officially opened the doors to our new Discovery House at Alconbury Weald, a David Wilson Homes development in Cambridgeshire.

The interactive experience, created in our popular Elmsthorpe style home, has been designed to show the various build stages of a new home and what makes new build homes so energy efficient.

The Mayor of Huntingdon, Councillor Phil Pearce, and the Mayoress, Debbie Pearce, joined the Year 5 class of Alconbury C of E Primary School to take the first tours around the home.

Councillor Phil Pearce said: "It was a joy to join the Year 5s in exploring the Discovery House, and see how sustainable houses of the future can be. We're excited to see how future developments in Huntingdon and the surrounding areas can benefit from these practices."

The house features cut-aways in the walls and ceilings, as well as displays that explain the construction process and the practices followed by the David Wilson Homes team in building the house.

John Dillon, Regional Director at Barratt David Wilson Homes, said: "This has been a very exciting project to work on, and we're thrilled to welcome people of all ages to explore it. The home is fascinating and we hope that it will be an educational tool to learn more about the construction industry, and how we build high quality, energy efficient homes."
