High-spec new homes - Clevedon
High performance
The boutique collection of five three-storey homes at Horizon, Clevedon, command captivating views of the sea and Britain’s only Grade 1 listed pier.
Cotswold Homes bought the land, previously recreational land for a local convent, with planning permission in place for the 1500 sq ft properties in Lea Grove Road, a traditional streetscape of Victorian properties. Designs were modified by Cotswold’s own management team to ensure the homes of steel frame construction gained maximum light and internal space.
Mark Pickthall of M P Plastering, Burnham-on-Sea, Bristol, specified the use of weberpral M for Cotswold Homes. “I have used Weber renders for over ten years and it’s the only brand we work with,” says Mark. “The Horizon properties were designed with crisp, contemporary lines so weberpral M in Chalk was selected to complement this minimalist style which blends perfectly with the surrounding landscape. weberpral M is hardwearing and very low maintenance which is ideal in this area of high exposure close to the sea.”

“The location proved to be a challenge in a highly restricted residential area,” continues Mark, “so speed was of prime importance. weberpral M is quick and easy to apply and spray application ensured we kept ahead of programme targets over a tight eight-week build.” A scraped finish has achieved an attractive decorative and durable finish.

“Despite its contemporary elevations, Horizon blends beautifully with the period properties opposite and behind,” says Terri Hayes-Pugh, sales manager, Cotswold Homes. “Although the design of Horizon was initially a concern to existing homeowners, the street scene is attractive, and from many of the historic viewpoints in Clevedon, these properties are almost unnoticeable due to careful planning of roof heights and colour palette.”
These high specification four-bedroom properties, which provide open plan living; a top floor master suite with French doors to a sun terrace and views of the sea; and walk-in closets and luxurious kitchens, were mostly reserved off-plan and all were occupied immediately upon completion.
weberpral M, a ready mixed, cementitious render is manufactured from carefully selected raw materials at facilities in Bedfordshire, Shropshire and Ireland where quality and consistency is achieved. It requires only the addition of clean water on site and is formulated for efficient spray application over large areas by render pump. It can be used on most suitably prepared brick and blockwork and offers a variety of ways to achieve distinct, architectural features.
