Medium Residential Scheme of the Year Award 2023 Finalist

Two detached houses have been built on unused paddock land at Botts Lane, Appleby Magna.

Located on a prominent corner site which is very visible when entering the village, it was important that the development was in keeping with the scale and character of existing dwellings and sat comfortably in the landscape.

Through discussions with the local authority, a contemporary design was achieved to provide a development that works in harmony with neighbouring properties.

Further Information

The opportunity was there to tidy up a vacant site and create a residential scheme which had no visual or physical impact on surrounding properties but improved the current situation through contemporary design.

The public footpath over the paddocks provides views to the rear elevations of the properties which were designed to make the most of the sun trace, with both properties capturing the sunset to the west.

The development used traditional construction featuring block and monocouche render and aluminium windows. Sustainable drainage systems were included.
