Sky-House Co begins work on Killamarsh Station site

Sky-House Co, the award-winning Sheffield based house builder, has begun work on a new site in the North East Derbyshire village of Killamarsh.

The redevelopment of the former Killamarsh Station will see the development of 13 three bedroom bungalows and dormer bungalows, with work scheduled for completion by the end of 2023.

The properties, which have been designed by the acclaimed team at CODA Architecture in Sheffield, follow the trademark Sky-House style, with flexible living space and eco-friendly features, focusing on being carbon neutral in construction and energy efficient on completion.

The development sits alongside the popular Trans Pennine Trail and is also within walking distance of Rother Valley Country Park.

“The Sky-House Co mission is to fill the missing sector of the UK housing market by creating homes that cater for clients ignored by national house builders,” said Sky-House Co founder and director David Cross.

“Less than one per cent of the UK new build market is focused on bungalows despite the fact that we have an ageing population.

“What we are creating at Killamarsh is a small community of homes where the emphasis is on not just comfort and accessible living but also on energy efficiency, which in the midst of a fuel crisis is something that is increasingly important to people investing in a new property.

“We believe that the people who invest in the Sky-House concept expect a standard of living that is compliant with the needs of the environment and that is exactly what we believe we can deliver at every level.”

Sky-House Co’s development at Fox Valley in Stocksbridge is now completed, while the former British Tissues site in Oughtibridge will be completed in early 2023, along with the second phase of the company’s acclaimed Waverley development between Sheffield and Rotherham.

A major new scheme at Devonshire Green in Sheffield city centre is expected to start soon.
