The Kilns, Earl Shilton

Medium Residential Scheme of the Year Award 2025 Finalist

The Kilns is a development of nine high-quality family homes on a disused brownfield site formerly associated with the local brickmaking industry, at the edge of Earl Shilton.

The four and five bedroom detached properties each have generous plots, private driveways and landscaped gardens within a private cul-de-sac.

A consistent materials palette references the site’s industrial past, while clean, contemporary interiors cater to modern family living.

Further Information

The scheme – named The Kilns in homage to the site's history – sought to achieve a harmonious visual identity while allowing for subtle variation in elevation treatments, rooflines and landscaping.

The project prioritised quality over quantity, to appeal to buyers looking for distinctive homes in a semi-rural setting, combining traditional design language with modern living standards.

Internally, the homes benefit from open-plan kitchen/dining areas, ample natural light and high-end finishes.
