Looking for a home that’s built for the future and works in harmony with nature?

At eastbrooke homes, we believe that a great home isn’t just about what’s inside; it’s about how it’s built to stand the test of time. That’s why at The Lower Acre, part of the One Horton Heath development, we’ve taken thoughtful, future-focused steps to manage rainfall and surface water in a way that’s both practical and environmentally responsible. 

We know that when you’re choosing a new home, peace of mind is a top priority. So, here’s how we’ve designed The Lower Acre to stay dry, resilient, and ready for the future, no matter the weather. 

Designed to work with nature.

From day one, we’ve prioritised sustainable water management as part of our “infrastructure-first” approach. That means key systems were put in place before the first home was even built, which means you can move in knowing the groundwork has already been done. 

Here’s what that looks like: 

• Smart Drainage Infrastructure: Two large underground drainage tanks have already been installed beneath the site. These tanks temporarily hold rainwater during heavy downpours, releasing it slowly and safely into the wider network. 

• Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS): We’ve incorporated natural drainage features that help slow, filter, and absorb rainwater, reducing surface water and supporting local biodiversity. 

• Thoughtful Site Design: The land has been carefully shaped to guide water away from homes and into designated drainage areas. It’s a subtle detail, but one that makes a big difference. 

• Built for the Future: Our drainage strategy has been designed to accommodate changing weather patterns and more intense rainfall, so your home is ready for tomorrow, not just today. 

Why it matters to you.

When you visit The Lower Acre, you’ll see more than just beautiful homes, you’ll see a community that’s been designed with care, from the ground up. Our approach to water management means: 

• No surprises during stormy weather 

• A greener, more sustainable environment 

• A home that’s built to last and to protect what matters most
