Shepherd's Well - South Cave, East Yorkshire
Utilising the best natural elements from the local environment, enhancing these with imaginative architectural designs and translating them into highly desirable, commercially viable dwellings with modern designs and a traditional ‘feel’ is no mean feat...
Shepherd’s Well is an innovative residential development that meets all of this criteria to become one of the area’s hottest locations to live.
"When we were approached to design Shepherd’s Well we knew from the outset that we wanted to create a genuine village ambience",
comments Design Director, Andy Sangwin. "The fact that the green-field site had a natural, spring-fed well and a watercourse really was perfect and allowed us to further cement our ambitions for the scheme. The stream now provides a very relaxing focal point for the village which is very well-received by both residents and visitors. When it came to the actual properties, our bold use of materials and colourful rendered finishes also provided an extremely eye-catching appeal.”
- English village style designs
- Good mix of properties
- Interesting use of materials and coloured renders
- Peaceful, highly desirable place to live
Incorporating the best from nature’s palette and then adding architectural, creative flair has enabled BDA to produce a comprehensive mix of property styles.
This small enclave is now well established as a peaceful community comprising 3 bed curved mid-mews homes with covered barn-style parking, 2 bed cottages, 3 bed bungalows and 5 bed detached classical Georgian-fronted houses.
"The highly individualised nature of the homes ensures they are even more desirable to local buyers and whilst it was our intention to create a scheme reminiscent of a typical English village, there was never anything ‘typical’ about our designs for the dwellings”, concluded Andy. "Shepherd’s Well is a formative example of how to make the best possible use of every available resource - and we’re glad we did because the scheme is exceptional."
These 24 well-appointed homes, in the picturesque village of South Cave, are ideally located for the short commute to Hull or York - and also close to the M62 motorway for easily accessing the remainder of the country.
