boasting properties in a wide range of sizes, from first homes right through to
impressive large-scale family houses.

Rivendale slates at Heyford Park as we wanted to create resilient properties
that would stand the test of time. Choosing durable and hard-wearing building
materials which don’t compromise on aesthetics, such as Eternit Rivendale
slates, has been really important in helping us create an infrastructure for
the community that we are confident will last.”
Nathan

slates complement the exterior aesthetic of each style of home. Heyford Park is
a long term commitment for Dorchester Living and we look forward to continuing
our partnership with Eternit as we build a thriving community for local
