Blacksmith’s Cottages

Swipe

Nestled in the heart of the Lincolnshire Wold village of Waltham, Blacksmith’s Cottages were built on the land of the Old Blacksmith’s Forge.

This small 4 unit development is opposite the village’s cenotaph and adjacent to the conservation area, so a sympathetic scheme on this corner plot was requested by the planners.

We decided to build the 4 cottages segmentally around the boundary of the plot, so as to give a more natural and attractive street scheme.

The finished homes won great praise from local residents and the Parish Council when completed. North East Lincolnshire Council thought they where of such high calibre, that they actually moved the village conservation area boundary to encompass the new Blacksmith’s Cottages.

The small development won both LABC & FMB awards for the quality of the build.
