Drawing on the wealth of experience and expertise gained operating in the upper echelons of the housing market, we’re bringing new levels of style and sophistication to a much wider but equally discerning audience.  We pride ourselves on our ability to offer levels of service and quality which are second to none within our industry. Every home we build is treated as if it were for our own occupation. Working alongside our award winning architects and designers, we spend hours painstakingly revising design details until they are just right.  This broad depth and range of skills has seen PH Homes grow into one of the most successful house building companies operating today.  **WARRANTY ** The appointed warranty provider for this development is ICW and the developer is a member of the ICW Consumer Code for Builders ## Property Photos - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66843) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66845) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66847) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66850) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66852) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66855) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66858) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66860) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66863) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66866) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66869) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66871) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66874) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/66877) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/711700) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/711701) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/711702) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/711703) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/711704) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/722867) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/722868) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/722869) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/722870) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/722871) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/722872) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/722873) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/722874) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/722875) - ![Photo](/listings/photos/172533683/1593558) ## Floorplans - ![All](/listings/photos/172533683/711705) - All ## Sold Comparables *Same street and nearby sales within 0.25 miles.
