Plot 1
Plot 1 is the most urban in character within the Baydons’ Development. Its design is more in keeping with the scale of the neighbouring homes along the lane, creating a sense of continuity with its surroundings.
The home is made up of three distinct volumes. At its heart is a central stone-built core, which houses the more private and enclosed rooms, such as the bedrooms, snug, and utility areas and designed to feel warm and sheltered.
Running alongside this is the main living wing: a simple, clean-lined structure that contains an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space. This part of the home is all about light, openness, and everyday family life.
A third wing runs perpendicular to the other two and contains functional spaces like the garage, workshop, and boot room, helping to keep the home organised and efficient.
