Three affordable homes on Yeld Road in Bakewell, completed in May 2024.
Homes for local people
Built in partnership with emh, the homes are for social rent and were only offered to people with a connection to the village, enabling local people to stay in, or return to, Bakewell.
There are three affordable terraced homes on the scheme, all for social rent:
- x1 1-bed house
- x2 2-bed houses
Designed to fit in
The homes were built using natural materials such as limestone, gritstone and blue slate which will be sourced from local quarries and suppliers, minimising the production and transport costs.
Energy efficient homes
And the design follows a ‘fabric first’ approach with high levels of insulation and air tightness incorporated to help the building envelope perform 20% better than the minimum building regulation standards.
They also have air source heat pumps to help keep energy bills low for the new residents.
