Dream homes take shape in holiday haven

The bayThe ongoing construction of one of the UK’s most vibrant and prestigious holiday villages – The Bay at Filey – is progressing well in a project being carried out by the scheme’s Developers, Essential Vivendi.

Set in 150 acres of landscaped parkland, The Bay enjoys superb facilities – including a luxury spa complex, tennis court, putting course, fishing, public house, gym, pharmacy and various beach activities – and is located on one of the most naturally beautiful stretches of the Yorkshire coast. In keeping with its location, The Bay Filey architects and designers have created a spacious development of wide boulevards and mews style cul-de-sacs, all thoughtfully laid out, with space in mind.

The current works, designed by Architects Robert Goodison Architectural Services, comprise the construction of attractive holiday cottages and beach houses which will be for private sale.The bay

The holiday cottages are being constructed in a mixture of brick and coloured render finished elevations, with a pitched tiled roof, reflecting the local vernacular. In general, the holiday cottages under construction are two-storey and feature an open plan design with a living area on the ground floor and either two or three double bedrooms upstairs, with the majority of bedrooms being ensuite. Each property has a patio or terrace which is usually accessed through double doors from the living area.

The beach houses are built in cedral boarding with pitched tiled roofing and the majority are single storey (although some two storey homes are planned) with two or three generally ensuite double bedrooms upstairs. All of the beach houses have a decking area to the front and rear.

The aim of the development is to reproduce a local village street scene. In keeping with its location, The Bay Filey architects and designers have created a spacious development of wide boulevards and mews style cul-de-sacs, all thoughtfully laid out, with space in mind.

The breathtaking Yorkshire heritage coastline, North York Moors and historic city of York are among the numerous attractions close by.

Construction has been ongoing for several years and is likely to continue for some years to come.
