A new way to belong

On land once defined by the clay industry, West Carclaze Garden Village is building a community shaped by sustainability, outdoor living and Cornwall’s landscape.

On the edge of St Austell, where China clay was once hauled from the ground by the wagon-load, a Cornish landscape shaped by industry is beginning a new chapter. West Carclaze Garden Village is transforming 500 acres of former clay country into a modern, sustainable community of around 1,500 new homes, along with a 350-acre managed country park.

Every home is designed to be carbon-positive in operation, meaning each property will produce more clean energy than it uses over the course of a year. Solar panels, battery storage and intelligent home systems are designed to deliver zero energy costs across the year, based on EPC assessments, so residents move in already ahead rather than catching up.

The village has been planned with outdoor living at its centre. Streets are designed for walking, green spaces run through the site and the clay pits that once defined this land-scape have been reworked into lakes, giving the development a sense of place drawn straight from what came before it.

A network of trails will link homes to schools, shops and shared amenities, so daily life doesn’t depend on the car. A primary school and nursery are built into the development itself, keeping the essentials of family life close to home from the outset.

Inside, homes are designed to be warm, efficient and easy to live in, with Samsung technology working discreetly in the background. The development aims to offer a lower-impact way of living, both for the planet and for the household budget. Its position also puts the Cornish coast within easy reach, supporting a lifestyle shaped by nature, out-door activity and open space, whether that means a morning swim or a weekend coastal walk. The over-all vision brings together Cornwall’s industrial heritage, forward-thinking technology, respected landscapes and a
connected community.

Three-bedroom homes start from £290,000, and properties are sold ready to move into and generating their own energy from day one.
