Homes for tree-hugging townies
A short stroll from the top of St Jacques, Cofton Mews gives you that rare thing: town-centre living surrounded by greenery.
At the front, two traditional town houses blend in with the neighbours; white-rendered, beautifully proportioned, and designed to feel like they’ve always been part of the street. But head down the drive and things take a surprising turn…
At the back, we flipped the script: a timber-clad barn-style home with bold rooflines, and a discrete one-bed unit with a living roof, shaped entirely around the root zone of a protected tree.
It’s a site that packs in a lot - urban location, leafy outlooks, and four totally different takes on what a ‘home’ can be.
