St George’s Mead brings the latest collection of award winning new homes in Semington offering 3 and 4 bedroom zero carbon homes and 3 bedroom bungalows.
Building on the success of our first phase of homes at St George’s Mead, in November 2023 St George’s Mead received one of the best accolades within the house building industry at the WhatHouse? Awards 2023 for Best Sustainable Development.
Semington is a small village in Wiltshire, located to the west of the A350 just south of Melksham. The market towns of Trowbridge, Westbury, Bradford-on-Avon and Devizes are within easy reach, as to are the cities of Bath and Bristol.
What makes our homes zero carbon?
Our zero carbon homes create as much prime energy as they need, thanks to their use of highly efficient air source heat pumps, extensive solar panels providing renewable energy and high levels of insulation. Prime energy is the regulated energy used to provide lighting, heating & hot water in the home. This is assessed by a standard procedure assuming a typical family lifestyle as indicated in the home’s Energy Performance Certificate.
Why did our homes at Semington win a Whathouse? Award
We were honoured for our approach to sustainability with a WhatHouse? Award for Best Sustainable Development at St George’s Mead for our first phase of homes here. The judges highlighted our exemplary ‘climate considerate’ methodology when delivering on its robust sustainability agenda, including zero carbon homes. Our latest homes carry on this legacy.

Zero Carbon and Energy Saving Homes
- Each home is designed with a ‘Predicted Energy Assessment’ (PEA) to ensure it is energy efficient and meets or exceeds current regulative standards
- Every home is then air tested for leakage to ensure exacting predicted energy performance ratings are met, and the PEA is converted into the homes’ ‘Energy Performance Certificate’ (EPC)
This is all achieved through using energy efficient materials in the fabric of the construction materials, including:
- Underfloor heating to the ground floor with radiators to first floor with individual thermostatic valves – excludes home office garden rooms see Sales Consultant
- Air source heat pumps
- Solar PV panels
- High performance insulation to roof, ground floor and external walls
- Double glazed windows and doors with energy efficient glazing
- Dual flush toilets and water saving aerated taps as standard, which use less water but maintain pressure
- Composting facilities to assist with gardening and food waste (where possible)
- Water butt for rainwater harvesting (where possible)
Local area

The Village of Semington
There has been a settlement here since at least the 12th Century and parts of the local St George’s Church date back to that time. The church and village hall host a range of social and cultural events.
The village benefits from a local Primary School, St George’s CofE, but there are at least another dozen alternatives within a few miles while the nearest Secondary is Melksham Oak Community School although there are other good options a few miles in the other direction in Trowbridge.

Historic Wiltshire
Semington is positioned between the World Heritage Sites of the City of Bath (north west) and Stonehenge (south-east) so there is certainly no shortage of history in the region. The quintessential Wiltshire village of Lacock, owned by the National Trust, looks much like it did 200 years ago while iconic carved white horses, dating back 250 years, still dominate the Wiltshire landscape with eight remaining on view today – including the oldest, and perhaps most famous, at Westbury.
Almost half of the county is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there are numerous ways to enjoy the magnificent countryside, from cycling, walking and horse-riding to golf, fishing and trips on the canal. The Kennet and Avon canal actually runs just beyond the edge of the village and affords walks along the towpath (also part of the National Cycle Network) or trips on the water with the impressive Caen Locks just 6 miles east towards Devizes should you wish to tackle some locks – all 29 of them!
