New build homes at Castle Walk are marketed as energy-efficient, incorporating high-quality finishes and sustainable features, including provisions for EV chargers and solar panels on certain plots. Specific house designs offer practical living spaces; for example, 'The Hatfield Corner' is a 3-bedroom detached house featuring an open-plan kitchen/diner with French doors to the garden, while 'The Whinfell' is a 4-bedroom semi-detached house with a well-proportioned, rear-aspect living room. The master plan for the development includes substantial investment in the local area, specifically contributing to public open spaces, a new spine road to improve the local road network, and the creation of a 10-acre town park. The developer will also contribute to primary and secondary education facilities in the Bolsover area.
