About these homes
This striking row of detached homes is inspired by, and located on a new street named for, the distinctive North Light roofs that topped the old weaving sheds that once stood on this part of the site. These ‘sawtooth’ roofs were originally designed to maximise natural light for the weavers at work, hence the name, and we’ve maintained a similar effect with the roof line of our Heron and Osprey homes. The four detached townhouses each cover c.1475 sq. ft. and are connected only by the continuous façade, which is punctuated with arrow slit openings in the stonework. Each home has three floors, three double bedrooms, a 4th bedroom/study and a garden, as well as off-street parking, and can be accessed both via its rear garden and via the new footpath link we’re creating parallel to Bridgehouse Beck.
The main entrances to these plots face west, overlooking Bridgehouse Beck. Each home has a covered porch area leading to the front door, from which the entrance hallway opens straight onto the expansive, open plan living space. This comprises a kitchen, at the front of the home, and ample space for dining and seating towards the rear. There’s also a cloakroom and double doors which give onto the turfed rear garden. Up on the first floor there’s a large landing with space to create a reading nook or workspace, two double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room and one overlooking the water, and a house bathroom with bath. The house bathroom has two doors – one providing access from the landing and one connecting it to the third bedroom. The second floor is home to a fabulous master suite that runs the full length of the house and has an en suite shower room and space for dressing and seating areas, as well as a Juliet balcony with views onto the Beck. There is also a 4th bedroom that could double as a study, providing a separate, secluded spot for home working, with a Velux window overhead to maximise natural light. There’s another Velux window in the master suite for the same purpose.
