A defining feature of the property is the intricate gable end detailing, which incorporates bespoke handmade coping bricks, individually hand-thrown for the project. These specially crafted bricks demonstrate the precision and versatility of traditional brickmaking techniques, allowing distinctive architectural details to be achieved.
The completed property demonstrates how authentic handmade bricks and bespoke specials can bring traditional character to high-quality new developments while respecting the architectural heritage of their surroundings.
