New Homes, Baldwins Gate

Ellis Hillman Architects were appointed to design a development of new homes in Baldwins Gate, Staffordshire, which involved the creation of a small, exclusive residential scheme that integrates seamlessly with its rural surroundings. The site is located in the tranquil village of Baldwins Gate, benefiting from scenic countryside views to the south and east. The orientation of the new homes has been carefully planned to maximise these views, ensuring that each property enjoys ample natural light while maintaining privacy and a strong connection to the landscape.

The design of the new homes is contemporary, with a combination of red and buff brickwork, which ties the buildings to the rural setting while providing a modern aesthetic. The use of these materials not only enhances the visual appeal of the homes but also contributes to their long-term durability. Each dwelling offers generous internal spaces, designed for family living, with open-plan layouts that create a sense of spaciousness and flexibility. The large family rooms feature wide bifold doors, opening up onto private and enclosed terraces, which enhance the indoor-outdoor flow, making them ideal for entertaining, relaxation, and enjoying the surrounding environment.

In keeping with the modern needs of homeowners, the new homes incorporate energy-efficient solutions and renewable energy technologies, contributing to a sustainable and comfortable living environment. These features ensure that the development is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and environmentally responsible.

Access to the site is provided via a private gated entrance, offering residents a sense of exclusivity and privacy, while the landscaping enhances the natural beauty of the surroundings. The new homes in Baldwins Gate are designed to blend harmoniously with the local community and provide a high standard of living in a picturesque countryside setting.

Currently under construction, the homes are scheduled for completion in 2025, offering future residents a peaceful yet contemporary lifestyle in one of Staffordshire’s most desirable locations.
