Pioneering CoreHaus Modular Innovation in County Durham

Cathedral Gates was developed with one of our delivery partners, Homes by Carlton, in Chilton, County Durham. The scheme utilised the design concept and component parts onsite to create the first CoreHaus development.

As it was our first development we designed a scheme showing numerous design abilities for the brand including external finishing and internal layout.

The development comprises of 14 properties in total. 7 CoreHaus prototype plots with the remainder being constructed using traditional methods to provide a realistic comparison of build.
