Mitre House, 1 The Old Woodyard, 44 Far Lane, LE12 5HA

Testimonials from residents living in The Old Woodyard:

"The Old Woodyard is one of the quietest places we have lived, even though it's near a train line. We are at the end of a lane so no passing traffic which is far worse in our opinion. The occasional "swoosh" sound is hardly noticeable thanks to the incredible insulation of the courtyards eco houses. (Which in our opinion all houses should be built with this class of near passive rating). Water harvesting and solar panel roof and Air Source Heating means it's future proof." (Richard)

"The Old Woodyard is a private courtyard with attractive homes and friendly neighbours, close to many beautiful country walks. We enjoy the wildlife who come to visit our peaceful gardens including partridges, hedgehogs and muntjac deer. The setting is idyllic, the houses are unique and eco-friendly and the thickness of the walls ensures extremely low heating costs and sound proofing from the nearby railway line." (Charlotte)
