Outstanding small housing development near<br />
Hadrian’s Wall reaches completion<br />
An outstanding small housing<br />
development in a<br />
picturesque<br />
Northumberland Village has<br />
been completed.<br />
The £1.1m Tulip Mews<br />
development at Heddon-on-the-<br />
Wall consists of five stone built<br />
family homes with three and four<br />
bedrooms.<br />
Kapex Construction, part of<br />
Newcastle-based Morton Group,<br />
where appointed as Principal<br />
Contractor by the developer<br />
Newminster Properties early last<br />
year to deliver the residential<br />
scheme which sits on a former<br />
brownfield site.<br />
Designed by Sadler Brown<br />
Architecture, Tulip Mews consists of<br />
five timber framed homes with<br />
stone-built facades.<br />
Development was halted for<br />
almost four months because due to<br />
the location of un-recorded<br />
foundation stones from Hadrian’s<br />
Wall. These were carefully recorded<br />
and removed from site allowing the<br />
scheme to continue<br />
Partners involved in the Tulip<br />
Mews development included Sadler<br />
Brown Architecture, Silverstone<br />
Building Consultancy (project<br />
management), Sanderson Young<br />
(selling agents) and Adelphi<br />
Consulting Engineers (Structural &<br />
Civil Engineers).<br />
Chris Nunn, Business<br />
Development Director at Kapex<br />
Construction, said: “Tulip Mews is a<br />
beautiful small-scale residential<br />
scheme featuring five high quality<br />
three and four bedroom family<br />
homes, located in the rural village of<br />
Heddon-on-the-Wall.<br />
“The development has had some<br />
challenges, not least due to the site’s<br />
proximity to Hadrian’s Wall. The site<br />
was fully assessed in advance of<br />
building work starting, and the<br />
uncovering of a number of<br />
archaeological treasures from<br />
Hadrian’s Wall itself resulted in<br />
delays of a few months.<br />
“It’s been a pleasure for us to<br />
work on such an outstanding<br />
residential development and I have<br />
absolutely now doubt that these<br />
beautiful, large family homes will<br />
sell very easily.”<br />
The Tulip Mews properties are<br />
now available for sale through<br />
Sanderson Young and are priced<br />
from £429,000.<br />
