A group of eight cottages in Cottered, Hertfordshire is nearing completion for developer Darling Homes.

Arranged around two informal courtyards the houses intended for 'empty nesters'. Large basement spaces provide storage space for accumulated belongings and whilst having an upper floor within the roof space the units are planned so that living can take place on the ground floor when the stairs become too much. Light chimneys provide daylight to internal bathroom spaces.
