Barley Croft

Project Overview

An exclusive development of 14 beautifully designed new homes situated at the western edge of Bedlington. The site takes advantage of views to the west across open agricultural land, towards Nedderton village, and maintains a sense of open space through the generous open areas. The open space areas are located to the north and in the heart of the development, with sustainable drainage systems. The scheme incorporates various road surfacing and paved driveways to maintain a semi-rural sense for the overall appearance.

Each property enjoys two car parking spaces, and many will enjoy additional spaces and/or garage facilities. The properties incorporate generous gardens, all well placed to maximise privacy and sunlight.

A complicated site within The Coal Authority development high risk area due to historic coal mining operations i.e. opencast surface coal mining as well as shallow and underground coal mine workings within the site and surrounding area. The extent of the site needed thorough investigations to determine the location and extent of the opencast quarry high wall and subsequent made ground/infilling of the quarry to suitably design the building foundations.
