Augustus Grange, located off St David’s Road, is a mixed tenure development being delivered with Pobl Group and providing a total of 115 two and three-bedroom homes, just six miles from the stunning Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
36 of the homes are available for open market sale and 79 are affordable homes, with 37 available to purchase through Shared Ownership and 42 for affordable rent. With Shared Ownership, homebuyers can purchase a minimum share of 50 per cent of their chosen home and pay rent on the remaining share, allowing them to settle into a new home with a smaller deposit and mortgage. After a year in the home, buyers can then increase their share until they own 100 per cent of the property.
The event is taking place on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th February, and will allow property seekers to tour the Lambourne style showhome and Lansdown view home, and learn about Lovell Homes’ schemes, which have been designed to make moving home easier and more affordable. An independent mortgage advisor from ABP Mortgages will also be on hand to offer free mortgage advice.
A range of homebuying schemes are currently available on selected properties at Augustus Grange, including Help to Buy Wales, Helping Hands and Part Exchange, as well as Lovell Homes’ Key Workers and Armed Forces Discounts. Buyers could also benefit from having flooring included throughout their new Lovell home*.
Help to Buy Wales is a Government-backed scheme available on properties up to £300,000 and enables buyers to purchase a new build home with just a five per cent deposit. The remainder is made up from a 75 per cent mortgage and a 20 per cent equity loan, which is interest free for the first five years*.
Both Helping Hands and Part Exchange make the process of purchasing a brand-new Lovell home easier for those who already own a property. In both schemes, Lovell will arrange for independent evaluations of the existing property. With the Helping Hands scheme, Lovell then assists with the marketing of the home and reserves the new home once a sale is agreed*. With Part Exchange, Lovell will make an offer on the property and reserve the new home upon acceptance*.
For both the developer’s Key Workers and Armed Forces Discounts, eligible individuals are provided with a £500 discount for every £25,000 spent on their new Lovell home*.
Suzie Hewitt, regional sales director at Lovell Homes, said: “We cannot wait to welcome property seekers to our Augustus Grange development this weekend and showcase the fantastic schemes we have on offer. At Lovell Homes, we strive to make the homebuying journey as affordable and stress-free as possible, for both first-time buyers and current homeowners looking to relocate to a new property.
“We’d encourage anyone who is interested to come along, learn how we can help them purchase their dream home and gain free mortgage advice.”

People are becoming more and more aware of environmental issues, and making eco-friendly changes at home is an excellent way to contribute to a greener future. Whether you’re looking to reduce energy consumption, minimise waste or choose sustainable products, small changes can have a significant impact. Here are some practical steps to create a more sustainable home.
Switch to Renewable Energy
One of the most effective ways to lessen your carbon footprint is by switching to renewable energy sources. Installing solar panels can hugely decrease your reliance on fossil fuels, lowering your energy bills while benefiting the environment. Additionally, many energy providers now offer green tariffs, allowing you to choose renewable electricity without installing solar panels yourself.
Reduce Energy Consumption
Improving energy efficiency at home helps lower emissions and save money. Consider upgrading to LED bulbs, which use significantly less energy than traditional incandescent ones. Investing in smart thermostats and energy-efficient appliances can also contribute to reducing overall energy consumption.
Choose Sustainable Materials
When renovating or redecorating, opt for sustainable materials such as bamboo flooring, reclaimed wood or recycled metal and glass. These choices not only add character to your home but also reduce the demand for virgin resources, making a positive environmental impact.
Reduce Water Waste
Water conservation is a crucial part of sustainability. Installing low-flow taps, showerheads and dual-flush toilets can significantly reduce water usage. Additionally, collecting rainwater for outdoor use and choosing drought-resistant plants for your garden can help minimise water wastage.
Adopt a Zero-Waste Lifestyle
Reducing household waste is essential for a greener home. Start by minimising single-use plastics and opting for reusable alternatives such as cloth bags, glass jars and stainless steel water bottles. Composting kitchen scraps is another great way to cut down on waste while enriching your garden’s soil.
Use Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products
Lots of conventional cleaning products contain harmful chemicals that can pollute water sources and harm wildlife. Switching to eco-friendly alternatives, such as vinegar, baking soda and biodegradable detergents, ensures a cleaner home without damaging the environment. Brands like Vayu Earth offer sustainable home products that promote a healthier and greener lifestyle.
Improve Indoor Air Quality
Enhancing indoor air quality is beneficial for both your health and the environment. Houseplants like peace lilies, spider plants and snake plants naturally purify the air by absorbing toxins. Additionally, using natural ventilation and reducing synthetic fragrances can help maintain fresher indoor air.
Support Sustainable Brands
Making conscious purchasing decisions can significantly impact the environment. Support brands that prioritise sustainability, ethical sourcing and eco-friendly packaging. Choosing products made from recycled or biodegradable materials helps reduce landfill waste and pollution.
Final Thoughts
Embracing eco-friendly changes in your home doesn’t require a complete lifestyle overhaul. By making small, mindful choices, you can create a healthier, more sustainable living space while positively impacting the planet. Start with a few simple swaps and gradually integrate more eco-conscious practices into your daily routine.
With thoughtful decisions and sustainable alternatives, you can transform your home into an eco-friendly sanctuary.
