The Balk, Pocklington
Client: Home Group
Discipline: Building Clerks of Works services
Value: £965,700
Project details
The land was owned by Mulgrave Properties, and the £1 million development consisted of 40 two-storey homes, featuring a mix of smaller terraced units and larger detached properties. Of the total, 25% were allocated as affordable housing. The client aimed to give the house designs a contemporary feel, in contrast to the more traditional neighbouring sites. To achieve this, the scheme incorporated modern window styles, artstone detailing, and projecting bays. Materials such as anthracite windows and doors, black bargeboards and fascias, and smooth dark grey roof tiles were carefully selected to create a striking contrast.
“There has been constant communication throughout the whole scheme. The Clerk of Works was very helpful and contributed to a high-quality product.”
