Saunders Boston Architects’ over- 55s scheme opens its doors
Cambridge-based Saunders Boston Architects have designed a new £4.8m development for LACE Housing. The Burrows, located in Nettleham, Lincolnshire, has been designed exclusively for over 55s and will provide a total of 36 “affordable, safe and secure homes for the local community.”
The development is made up of 22 two-bedroom apartments and 14 two- bedroom bungalows, which are designed to provide light, spacious and accessible accommodation. Each home contains fitted kitchens with built-in ovens and a wetroom comprising a modern three-piece suite with double shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC. Construction of The Burrows
began in July 2018, after the Nettleham Parish Plan revealed a growing need for affordable accommodation for older people in the area. The Burrows not only aims to create affordable homes for members of the local community, but also focuses on sustainability, through the use of PV panels, which will help the units run economically. Saunders Boston Architects worked alongside local construction firm Lindum Construction to deliver the development. The scheme has been part-funded by Homes England through its Shared Ownership and Affordable Homes Programme, which aims to increase housing options for older people in England by March 2022.
