A terrace of four affordable homes to rent for local people on a rural exception site, designed to reflect its location in the Peak District National Park.
About the homes
There are four homes for affordable rent:
- Three 2-bedroom homes
- One 3-bedroom home
Sensitive to local surroundings
The homes were designed to blend in with the local area. They are built using:
- local limestone
- coursed rubble stones
- timber windows
- slate roofs
- gable depths similar to typical cottages in the area.
Tackling fuel poverty
The homes are built to help keep residents' energy costs low with:
- air source heat pumps
- log burning stoves, to ensure heating is available throughout the winter in this remote rural area.
