Springhill Cohousing
Springhill Cohousing is near the centre of Stroud in Gloucestershire. It is the first new-build cohousing scheme to be completed in the UK. There are 34 units, ranging from one bedroomed flats to five bedrooomed houses. There is a three-storey common house with a kitchen where meals are cooked and served three times a week – other shared meals and community-based social activities happen there too. Springhill Cohousing has been recognised by The Deputy Prime Minister’s Award for making an “outstanding contribution” to Sustainable Communities. The pedestrianised main street meanders around the site parallel with the contours, creating a characterful village feel.
