Awards

Appledore Developments has scooped yet another award at the prestigious What House Awards 2008. The multi award-winning developer received a Bronze Award in the Best Brownfield Development category, for The Old Pottery in Rye.

The housebuilder’s innovative planning team has created an outstanding site development with high standards of architectural design. The exterior of The Old Pottery development draws on the town’s seagoing past; the tall buildings are based on fisherman’s cottages and feature pale weatherboard cladding. The apartments, townhouses and detached house all overlook the adjacent River Tillingham and make the most of the refreshing waterside views with folding façade glazing which leads onto decked terraces from the living room.
