The scheme involved the construction of three stand-alone buildings with: an office and marketing suite which will offer flexible co-working opportunities for the local community, a cafe, and a community hall.

The three buildings making up the Farmstead are arranged around beautiful landscaping with a courtyard that has a nature-themed play area, outdoor seating and bike storage.

Andrew Morris, Business Development Director for Ashe Construction said: “We’re delighted to be providing this fantastic new community facility. Using sustainably sourced timber and offsite methods of construction we have ensured the most sustainable of buildings that fits with the aspirations of all parties involved. We hope it plays a central part in building a caring and diverse community.”
