Canon Pyon, Hereford, Herefordshire HR4

No. 6 The Hemmel - A semi-detached, 4 bed, 3 bath contemporary styled conversion of an historic timber framed barn

Arranged over three storeys with an abundance of natural light, impressive internal volume, beautifully designed kitchens and bathrooms, and direct access to a private garden and sold with a share of the communal 2 acre meadow with raised beds and orchard.

Great care has been taken not only to ensure that these houses are energy efficient, but that their construction is rooted in local vernacular and materials. Using painstakingly preserved oak and elm beams, the structures have been straightened, restored and reset, rather than rebuilt. Clay paint has been thoughtfully applied, allowing these remarkable architectural elements to retain their charm while allowing the buildings to breathe. A varied planting scheme throughout the site works in tandem with the pond to boost biodiversity and create beautiful shared spaces for the residents.

The complete retrofit of these historic buildings has included replumbing, new electrics, the introduction of air source heat pumps, underfloor heating, insulation and double glazing to create a collection of highly efficient homes with low running costs. There are two private parking spaces ducted ready for EV charge-ready point. Further visitor parking is provided within the common parts. Fibre broadband runs throughout the site to enable efficient home working. The existing red Hereford bricks were restored, while new oak-framed windows were crafted locally, seamlessly blending the old and the new.

The development has won two RIBA Awards, and Heritage awards for its design and construction, testament to the quality and care of the property on offer. Designed and built by Stolon Studio, award winning architects, The Parks project breathed new life into neglected rural buildings to create a sociable housing development comprising eight new sustainable homes in a beautiful rural setting. The Parks further develops Stolon’s ‘sociable housing’ concept to provide an alternative rural typology to the isolated single home, offsetting rural loneliness and helping to nurture new communities.

Originally a dairy farm, this assembly of rural timber-framed 15th and 16th century buildings had fallen into disrepair and collapse through long-term neglect. The project seamlessly combines old and new to create individual homes with shared, communal spaces, nature pond, two acre meadow, fieldhouses and orchard.
