A disused sawmill site has been granted a new lease of life as JDDK has secured planning permission to create two new homes on the location of the existing structures.

The proposals show two bespoke residential designs. The first house covers 192m2 with its four bedrooms and double height hall space. The second, five bedroom house covers 320m2 alongside an additional studio building of 46.5m2, and features a striking open plan living, dining and kitchen, running the full length of the property. Both properties are sustainable designs, using timber cladding and roofs that support PV panels.

Nicky Watson, Director at JDDK explains: “It’s been an interesting project to work on so far, as the new buildings needed to reflect the existing building in terms of footprint, scale and materials but provided an opportunity for a contemporary take on the designs in their rural setting.”
