Ridley Croft Barns

RIDLEY CROFT Barns are an exclusive conversion of Victorian farm barns into eleven luxury, 3 and 4 bedroom homes.
Set in the stunning Cheshire countryside, these barn conversions are accessed via the original listed Gatehouse of Ridley Hall which is believed to date from the late 15th Century. The properties surround a spacious, landscaped courtyard and offer luxury living in truly unique surroundings.
Great care and attention has gone into the conversion process to ensure the character and setting of the development has been retained. All of the properties have attractive countryside views. The north range benefits from views across the adjoining land (believed to been the site of the original Ridley Hall) to both Peckforton and Beeston Castles.

Loughor, Swansea, South Wales

Works completed on time and within budget on our ‘Supported Living’ project in South Wales .  This 339m2 Bungalow was our 5th project for First Choice Housing Association.

The building is a bungalow designed and built for ‘supported living’.  It provides a home for 4 people plus a bedroom for the carer.

5 bedrooms are at ground floor level, one bathroom is shared by two bedrooms, and again opposite across the hallway the other bathroom serves the other two bedrooms. The carer has their own bathroom.

The scheme provides a 2 lounges and a kitchen/dining room.

All the bedrooms and lounges have hoists which can transfer tenants from bed to bathroom and around both bedrooms, lounge and bathrooms

Supported living is a concept that was developed as an alternative to institutional care for people with learning disabilities and brought into the UK in the 1990’s. The main principles of supported living are that people with learning disabilities own or rent their home and have control over the support they get, who they live with (if anyone) and how they live their lives. Supported living assumes that all people with learning disabilities, regardless of the level or type of disability, are able to make choices about how to live their lives even if the person does not make choices in conventional ways.

Here at Kitwe we are extremely proud to have delivered 6 of these homes during the past 3 years, effectively changing the lives of the individuals who live there.
