Canal Side, Cosgrove
Cosgrove was an old tannery Factory it was positioned in a delightful location next to the Grand Union Canal with great views of the historic stone bridge. The site had outline planning for seven terraced Houses when we purchased it. We immediately went back to planning to redesign the scheme. The design was to be a very traditional exterior with an open plan contemporary interior which created an instant impact when compared to the exterior. The three bed houses had oversized ceiling heights, wet rooms to the ensuite, open plan kitchen breakfast rooms and stone fireplaces to the living room. The site did present some difficulties building next to a canal with the subsequent access issues, however, these were overcome. The site program was 14 months and all the houses were sold off plan.
