Hillcrest Unveils Contemporary 'Castle Hill' Property
Hillcrest Homes is planning an innovative 8,000 sq ft contemporary abode on one of the most prestigious roads in Prestbury.
Hillcrest’s one-acre tree-lined site rests off Castle Hill at the end of a long drive and is currently occupied by a 1970’s style bungalow. Hillcrest proposes to build a multi-level property, which works in harmony with the gently sloping site to blend into the woodland setting.
“This is a very special location and the current property is neither sympathetic to its setting or up to meeting the basic standards of environmental efficiency,” says architect James Hindley.
“We’ve studied the topography and have spoken with planning officials and local authority arboricultural officers to respond with a more respectful and appealing design which will work with the gentle gradient of the land rather than against it.”
The proposed five-bedroom property will be presented for planning later this month but Hillcrest has already gained the approval of residents living adjacent to the site, particularly as their proposals will impact less on the environment than the response some architects and developers may have taken.
Says James, “All too often sites such as this are dug out to create a flat base for a large imposing property. By embracing the natural slope of the land we can create an exciting and original home but also one which is innately eco-friendly; we’ve reduced the amount of waste going to landfill, have imposed our own tree protection policy and are controlling heat loss through clever design rather than having to rely on eco-technology.”
