Rydon Fields Housing Development

Situated in Holsworthy, a rural market town in North Devon, the Rydon Fields housing development is located on the main approach to the town.

What could have been another ‘nondescript’ edge of town development, has a sense of character beyond the normal run-of-the-mill housing.

This development provides a traditional approach to developing within a historic market town. The gatehouses either side of the entrance, locally known as the ‘pepper pots’, give the development a sense of place and character, which is usually lacking in most new housing developments. This has been achieved by creating character and quality more in keeping with the vernacular of other properties in Holsworthy, and paying particular attention to the details, scale and mass of those close to the local buildings provides a development that has local distinctiveness.
