Hylands Project in Filey: Creating Flexible, Family-Friendly Homes on the East Coast

We are delighted to share the latest update on our Hylands project in Filey, a site with a rich history and enormous potential. Following careful consideration of today’s housing needs along the east coast, we have just resubmitted the planning application with a revised approach that responds directly to the local market and community priorities.

One of the most significant changes is a reduction in the number of units from 22 to 17. This allows us to focus on creating larger, more versatile homes that meet the needs of modern families. Most of the units are now designed as three-bedroom homes, providing flexible living spaces that can adapt to changing household requirements. Each home is being crafted with thoughtful layouts, generous storage, and natural light to create a welcoming, functional environment.

Our goal with Hylands is not just to preserve a piece of Filey’s architectural heritage, but to reimagine it for contemporary living. The former grand hotel has a unique character, and our design approach carefully balances respect for its history with the practical requirements of modern life. We have prioritised high-quality materials, enduring finishes, and a sense of space that enhances both the interiors and the surrounding landscape.

We believe developments like Hylands can have a lasting positive impact on the local community. By offering homes that are well-sized, adaptable, and family-oriented, we are helping to meet the current demand for quality housing on the east coast. At the same time, our designs aim to complement the character of Filey, ensuring the development feels connected to its surroundings rather than imposing upon them.

We are immensely grateful to everyone who has followed this project so far. Your feedback and interest inspire us to deliver homes that truly work for people today and stand the test of time. The planning process is moving forward, and we are excited to continue sharing the journey as the design evolves and the project progresses.

We would love to hear your thoughts on this new direction for the Hylands project. Whether you’re a local resident, a potential homeowner, or someone with a passion for thoughtful design, your input is invaluable.

Stay tuned for further updates as we continue shaping this exciting project into a vibrant, family-focused residential destination on Filey’s east coast.
