Farrow Court
Stanhope,
Ashford Borough Council
Description of Scheme
Situated in a predominantly residential area south-west of the centre of Ashford, Farrow Court is being developed for Ashford Borough Council. The design by PRP Architects meets HAPPI criteria and follows dementia-friendly design principles throughout both the building and the surrounding gardens. Photo-voltaic panels contribute to the energy demand of the communal areas. Progressive privacy is achieved through a simple to use access control system and the scheme benefits from the latest Tunstall telecare technology. All apartments have flush floor showers and a private patio or balcony.
Where Is It?
Located in the town of Ashford within the county of Kent, the development of Farrow Court features a mix of housing styles from the 1930's, through to more recent modern housing in the form of bungalows, semi-detached and terraced properties. To the south-west of the site lies the Stanhope Estate which in 2007 underwent a £200m regeneration project to deliver over 400 new and 300 refurbished houses and flats.
