Our Design

As with every McCarthy Stone Retirement Living development, a community feel is encouraged with communal spaces and a limited number of apartments and bungalows, so that residents can get to know their neighbours.

Before we begin designing any proposal, our team of architects spend time researching the architecture and character of the local area to ensure a sensitive design that is in keeping with its surroundings.

Part of the allocated site sits within the Halesworth Conservation Area, therefore it has been critical to us that we propose a scheme with a character fitting of the local area. To ensure this, our proposals for the land at Dairy Farm have gone under an extensive and evolving design process, through consultation with officers at East Suffolk District Council.

The layout of the site will allow space for car parking adjacent to the apartments, as well as exclusive spaces for each of the bungalows.  The apartment building will provide a set back frontage onto Saxons Way, with an enhancement of Swan Lane making the pedestrian route safer and more appealing for users.

Our proposals present an exciting opportunity to bring forward high-quality, low maintenance homes in a vibrant and historic town, whilst providing community benefits in the form of community land transferred to Halesworth Town Council.
