Nature-friendly living at The Lower Acre.

28 August 2026

New homes deigned around nature.

At eastbrooke homes, we know buyers are looking for more than a beautiful new home. At The Lower Acre, our new homes have been planned alongside green open spaces, wildlife corridors and carefully protected habitats, creating a community that feels connected to nature from day one.

Supporting Bats this International Bat Night

International Bat Night is a reminder of how important bats are to healthy local ecosystems. At The Lower Acre, expert ecological surveys have helped shape a responsible approach to protecting bats roosting near the development, including the brown long-eared bat.

Looking after bats responsibly.

Dedicated bat houses, bat boxes and sensitively adapted roost spaces have been incorporated across One Horton Heath, with ongoing monitoring to ensure these habitats continue to support local wildlife over the long term.

Why bats are a benefit to homebuyers.

Bats are a sign of a healthy, wildlife-rich environment. As natural insect controllers, they help support a balanced ecosystem around gardens and green spaces, making them a positive feature for homebuyers who value nature, biodiversity and a greener place to live.
