The properties range from size up to 7,000sqft and are specifically designed to adapt to their sensitive rural landscape settings within the Cheshire Green Belt. Many of the discerning features of our properties incorporate substantive use of oak framing, high quality hand brick and natural stone

Contemporary Garden Wall House in Conservation Area
A contemporary new home situated in a back land garden plot has been submitted to Cheshire East Council. The site lies in the orchard of the former home of Elizabeth Gaskell. The north elevation is designed to appear as a Victorian garden kitchen wall with a sliding door to reveal the front entrance door to the dwelling. This is designed with romantic connotations of being a secret passageway through the wall. Above the wall, cantilevers a first floor element which is part rendered and part clad in western red cedar to appear to be lightweight and ‘floating’.
