The layout of Carpenters Yard has been carefully considered to reflect the character of traditional field boundaries and maximise natural light within our homes. Tree-lined terraced streets are interwoven with green spaces, including the Willow Pond, trail garden and children’s play spaces.
A historic preserve of respite and reconnection on the outskirts of London, people have retreated to Epping Forest for peace and tranquility for centuries. Two miles to the north of Epping, Thornwood village is located on the edge of Wintry Wood, the forest’s northern tip, with miles of nature reserve on its doorstop.
At the same time it is convenient to get into the city, with the Central line running from Epping (6-minute drive, 15-minute bus) and the Overground from Harlow (16-minute drive).
Designed through extensive consultation with the local community and with the goal of enhancing the beauty and biodiversity of the landscape, Carpenters Yard provides a new, green heart for the village of Thornwood.
Residents also benefit from a range of shared resources to enhance village life, including a gym, allotments and an electric car and bicycle club, with a concierge service to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Our RIBA award-winning architects have crafted homes with the future in mind – uniquely efficient, resilient to changes in the weather and with fitted kitchens, bathrooms and flooring that have a timeless appeal.
Care has been taken to ensure they are wonderful places to live, with the space to play, tranquility to relax in and every practical consideration for the needs of modern life.
