a unique development of sustainable homes on the outskirts of Langport, Somerset
…the vision
Diggersfield grew from a desire to create a sustainable community in the beautiful Somerset countryside.
After years of careful planning, consideration of the environment, community, and the needs of future inhabitants, we are delighted to finally see the project gain planning consent. In 2025, we look forward to breaking new ground and seeing the development take shape!
Situated in the beautiful, peaceful surrounds of Langport, with community growing space, orchard, and a tree-lined avenue approach, Diggersfield promises an exciting new vision for those seeking a sustainable, holistic lifestyle in a wonderful setting. Architect designed to the PassivHaus Low Energy Standard, each home will sit beautifully among the leafy setting.
We can’t wait to see the eight homes built. Services and groundworks are in preparation and we anticipate building to start in Summer 2025, with completion of the first houses in 2026.

The Homes
Eight beautifully sustainable, architect-designed homes, detailed to create a low-energy, holistic and healthy internal environment, and offer flexible accommodation to suit different households and lifestyles.
Each home has ground-floor accommodation, with space to extend into the attic should you wish to add further rooms.
The ground floor accommodation centres around a generous living/dining area, open plan to the kitchen. Generous glazed windows ensure the space is light-filled and airy, and a door opens out onto the garden to connect to the outside space.
Two bedrooms and a family bathroom offer accommodation for a couple or small family. The entrance hall also contains the stair to the attic, which provides extensive storage space and is also ready for conversion should you wish to add more bedrooms. This would be a good option for a larger family, or someone looking for a work/home space.
