Slys Close
The two terraces of houses in Slys Close were our first development – built with good size rooms, high ceilings, oak framed windows, underfloor heating and provided with air-source heat pumps. Our refurbishment of Slys barn followed, providing two one bedroom houses to match in with the rest of the Close.
