Sandford Road in Winscombe is set to be transformed into a thoughtfully designed residential community featuring 68 new homes. This project includes a mix of housing options, from three to five-bedroom homes. Located along Sandford Road, this development offers scenic views, ample green spaces, and improved pedestrian and cycle connectivity. By integrating sustainable building practices, including energy-efficient designs and eco-friendly materials, Coombe Farm aims to enhance the local landscape while providing much-needed housing for the Winscombe area.
A New Community at Sandford Road
Offering a balanced mix of market-rate residences. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Mendip Hills AONB, this community prioritises sustainability, incorporating solar energy systems and air source heat pumps. The site layout reflects a careful response to local character, with homes nestled among retained natural features such as mature trees and hedgerows.
The design approach includes three distinct character areas within the northern, central, and southern parcels, each featuring unique architectural styles and material palettes. These homes will utilise high-quality materials like recon stone, render, and red Roman roof tiles, aligning with the local architectural style. Public open spaces, ecological buffers, and landscaped areas encourage outdoor enjoyment and support biodiversity. Additionally, Sandford Road is conveniently connected to local amenities via pedestrian and cycle paths, offering easy access to nearby Winscombe and the Strawberry Line trail.
