Applewood is a unique new homes development, built on the site of the former Cashes Green Hospital. It is a beautiful site, rich in plants, trees and wildlife, and surrounded by views of rolling hills. It is also close to the heart of Stroud, one of the liveliest towns in the Cotswolds.

hello

Applewood was conceived and developed by Haboakus, a partnership between my company, Hab (Happiness Architecture Beauty) and property developer Oakus. We are committed to building houses that make people happy; that keep people warm in winter and cool in summer and generally comfortable and cheerful all year round.

We work with brilliant architects and landscape architects to make places that look great, work well, and have lots of outdoor space for people to play, chat, lie in the sun, throw a good party and grow their own food.

On the following pages we have tried to give a flavour of what it might be like to live in Stroud and specifically at Applewood.

springLook out for badgers on the site, as well as bats, butterflies, slow worms and birds.

Head for the hills on foot or by bike. Stroud lies at the point where the famous five Golden Valleys meet and is surrounded by magnificent countryside.

The town itself lies on the traffic–free section of Sustrans National Cycle Network, Route 45, and is a brilliant base from which to explore the surrounding countryside.

All of the houses and flats at Applewood have ample storage for bikes, and if you can’t stand the thought of pedalling up all those hills, you can borrow an electric bike from the Applewood on–site electric bike club. Or you could borrow a car from the Cashes Green car club.*

Look for badgers emerging from their long-established setts on the green swathe that runs north to south through the Applewood site, as well as bats, butterflies, slow worms and birds.

Visit Stroud International Textiles (stroudinternationaltextiles.org.uk) An event in May celebrates the town’s textile heritage. (There were 150 working mills during the cloth industry’s 19th century heyday.) There are exhibitions, talks and workshops showcasing contemporary artists from far afield including Holland, France and Japan.

Jackdaw Playful and chirpy, but prone to act as a pack to launch assaults on bird feeders, scaring other birds away and polishing off the food.

Orange blossom Mexican orange blossom, and Philadelphus, popularly known as ‘mock orange blossom’ will come into flower in late spring or early summer.

Dunnock A small unassuming brown and grey bird that tends to shuffle along the ground and keep close to cover.

Apple and pear trees The many apple and pear trees across the site will flower in the spring. Some varieties of apple will be ready to eat by late summer, whilst autumn is the season for picking pears.

Thrush Watch – or listen – for the pale black–spotted Mistle Thrush or the Song Thrush, its smaller, browner cousin.

Honeysuckle The early flowering honeysuckle will come into flower in spring, with later–flowering varieties continuing throughout the summer.

Blackcap Known as the ‘northern nightingale’ on account of its distinctive fluting song. You can tell the gender by the colour of the distinctive cap: black for male and chestnut for female.

Cherry blossom Enjoy the sight of cherry blossom and look forward to picking the fruit once summer comes.

Nature WatchApplewood is home to a wide variety of trees and plants that, in turn, attract a host of insects, animals and birds.

In Spring keep a look out for:

Enjoy a performance in the park, or a picnic on the open space outside your door.

Throw a paella party. The allotment building at Cashes Green is designed for everybody who lives there to use and would be a great place to get together. Dave Felce, former Fishmonger and Smoker and a regular stallholder at the Shambles Market, shares the secret of making a paella that’s big enough, and good enough to get a party off the ground. ➜

Pack a picnic and while away an hour or so enjoying the green wildlife corridor that runs through the Applewood site.

Watch scores of performers take to the stage as the Stroud Fringe closes the summer holidays in true style. Street entertainers, musicians and bands from the Five Valleys and beyond perform, free of charge, on outdoor stages and in local venues and pubs.

INGREDIENTS

Oil

Onion, chopped: One per person.

Peppers, chopped: Red and green one per person.

Cherry tomatoes: two per person. Any other veg you like or that is in season, peas, beans, courgettes etc.

Ground coriander, turmeric and Cajun seasoning.

Fish stock with lots of parsley stalks, herbs and salt.

Fish – any sort will do: Pollock, Ling, Huss. It doesn’t have to be expensive. The quantity of fish used can be a lot or a little according to the cost you wish to keep to; the more the better!!

METHOD

It is important that the pan is level. If you are cooking for 50 or 80 people and using a large pan, say one metre diameter, put a generous litre of oil in the warm pan and pack the feet of the cooker with wood until the oil is evenly covering the pan. Turn up the heat and fry the veg. When cooked add the rice and seasoning.

Stir this until the rice is coated in oil and seasoning, add the stock and mix the rice and stock together, making sure the rice has not “burnt on”. Add the fish, stir it about a bit, to make sure it is not sticking and is even over the pan. Let the stock come to the boil and simmer for five or ten minutes pushing any uncooked fish under the whole thing. “Rest” for 15 minutes.

Serve as if cutting a cake, so that it remains looking presentable until the last portion. This is very important. Don’t let people help themselves because they rake over it until it looks too messy and nobody will fancy eating it.

summerGiant Paella (Or as big as you want)

Use 75grms of rice and 300ml of stock per person. For example, for 10 people you would use three quarters of a kilo of rice and 3 litres of stock. I use Tilda long grain rice, which is very good. The grains stay separate and do not set to a solid mass after cooking.

Explore the area’s canal, rivers, valleys and hills and check out Stroud’s rich mix of local markets, restaurants, cafés and pubs.

Visit Victory Park – a wonderful local park with plenty of space for walking, biking and ball games, a protected play space for smaller children and, in autumn, hunting for conkers and kicking around in fallen leaves. The park is also home to a bowling club and hosts a diverse programme of events ranging from gardeners’ workshops to car boot sales to a Medieval Fayre.

Explore Stratford Park in the centre of Stroud where a 17th century wool merchant’s mansion has been transformed into the Museum in the Park, which celebrates Stroud’s history and heritage.

Take part in the Five Valley Festivals (www.stroudvalleysfestivals.co.uk). This is a collection of celebrations that carries on throughout September.

Highlights include the Festival of Nature, which takes place in Stroud’s beautiful Stratford Park. The Walking Festival offers opportunities to explore the area’s canal, rivers, valleys and hills, and the Food and Drink Festival focuses on Stroud’s eateries and markets. Widely acknowledged as one of the birthplaces of the Organic Food movement, Stroud was home to Britain’s first fully organic café, Woodruffs, and has a wealth of independent restaurants and cafés.

winterThe busy Shambles Market transforms one of the oldest parts of town into a hive of activity and a popular meeting place.

Pick apples. Bramley Apples are everywhere at Applewood and are in season from September through to March. Look out for other varieties including the nutty–tasting Blenheim Orange and the Worcester Pearmain, a small, sweet, crimson apple that’s good for juicing and delicious with cheese. Hone your apple expertise at the Days Cottage Orchard Skills Centre.

Enjoy the Community Christmas Tree Festival held annually at St Laurence Church. The church is choc–a–bloc with trees displayed by local businesses, individuals and groups. Or head for Miserden Nursery, a traditional family–run Nursery set within beautiful period glasshouses high in the Cotswold hills, which sells mistletoe, Christmas trees and wreaths.

Go Christmas shopping at… Made in Stroud (madeinstroud.co.uk) an Aladdin’s Cave of clothes and gifts made by the many craftsmen, artists and designers based in and around Stroud. Hunt for Christmas fayre at Stroud’s renowned farmer’s market, which takes place at the Cornhill Market every Saturday. Browse the stalls at the Shambles Market, which opens on Fridays and Saturdays, transforming one of the oldest parts of town (the area just off the main High Street leading to St Laurence Church) into a hive of activity and popular meeting place.

METHOD

Landscape Architect Luke Engleback, who designed the landscape and green spaces at Applewood, shares an apple dish which is delicious – if a little odd.

‘Fish and apples, isn’t that a bit odd? Well no, I tried this when camping in Normandy and it was really delicious, so we tried it out for lunch with the team – and thumbs up all round! It is really simple to prepare too. Bramley apples are best, they have been bred as cooking apples and are slightly tart, but when baked become very soft. The great thing is that they are heavy croppers, my tree has been in for five years and has a mass of apples.

Wash and core the apples – one per person. The hole needs to be big enough to insert a rolled up fish.

Buy fillets or ask the fishmonger to remove the bones, and the skin too. If you have bought them as fillets from the supermarket, one side of skin will often remain, but it is easy to take off. Lay the fish flat on a cutting board, skin down, take a sharp knife, and cutting away from yourself, make a cut at one end of the fish between the flesh and the skin and gently work your way down. Roll up the fillet and tuck it into to apple, grind some black pepper over it and add a knob of butter – that’s it. Cover with foil and cook in the oven at 180˚C or Gas Mark5 for about 40 minutes.

Serve with a Dieppoise Sauce – this is a white sauce from the northern French sea port of Dieppe and usually has shrimps and mussels and a dash of cider or Calvados (the local apple brandy) and some herbs. We couldn’t find the kind of brown shrimps I used to buy with my grandpa in half pint jugs, so we made do with some budget frozen prawns instead.

Melt a knob of butter in a pan, finely chop half a small onion and gently cook it until transparent, and then add a large spoon of plain flour and stir it in until smooth. Add milk and some fish stock, then add the prawns, and some mussels if you have them. Season and add a splash of cider as the sauce thickens and finish off with some chopped parsley or chives.

INGREDIENTS

Applewood draws on the local architectural style and incorporates the most cherished buildings of the Victorian hospital that previously occupied the site.

before

Applewood occupies the site of the former Cashes Green Hospital, which was built in 1902. The hospital closed in 1993 and has been disused ever since. The buildings had fallen in to a state of severe disrepair and were scheduled for demolition. However, some of the buildings, notably the former Nurses’ Home and the Porters’ Lodge, were held in particular regard by the local community and viewed as an essential part of Cashes Green’s character and heritage. Hence, following extensive community consultation, these two buildings have been restored and converted into new homes: the Nurses’ Home has been turned into apartments and the Porter’s Lodge, at the entrance to the site, is now a beautiful two–bedroom house.

The palette of materials used for the new building was carefully chosen to complement the retained historic buildings and, where possible, bricks, slates and other elements from the demolished buildings have been retained and reused throughout the site.

How is Applewood different from

any other development?

It’s in Stroud, for a start, a place with an

energy and character that money just can’t

buy. Yet it enjoys magnificent views of the

surrounding hills. And we’ve worked hard

to make sure that Applewood is very much

of its place. The design and materials of the

houses are strongly rooted in the textures and

colours of the area and the historic buildings

that occupied – and, in some cases still

occupy – the site.

What about the outdoor space?

The green and landscaped spaces, designed

by the renowned landscape architect Luke

General DisclaimerApplewood is a marketing name only. These details are intended as just a guide and do not form part of any specification or contract. Details of the design and the materials used, as well as any brands stated, may vary in the finished product. Please confirm the final layout and specification through your solicitor prior to contract. The dimensions are maximum and approximate and may vary based on the internal finish, dimensions are to the widest part of each room scaled down from the architects plans. House types can change during construction, but final drawings are available to inspect on site. Any items ordered to size should use measurements taken from the completed property. These particulars are produced in good faith and nothing herein or verbal statements shall constitute part of any contract. No employee of Haboakus or its agents are authorised to make or give any warranty or representation about these properties.

Engleback, draw heavily on the existing

topography and landscape. This is an

astonishing site, with a rich mix of trees,

plants and wildlife. For us, shared and

outdoor spaces are fundamental to the

new neighbourhood and to promoting

a sense of well–being. We have tried to

create as wide a variety of different spaces

as possible: a shared garden square, a green

wildlife corridor, ‘fruity streets’, and so on.

There are also plenty of opportunities to

pick or grow your own food including

fruiting shrubs, vines and trees.

And the houses themselves?

Our houses are designed by leading architects

DSDHA, and built using local labour and,

where possible, locally–sourced products.

The building firm, Markey Construction, is

a family–run business that is based in the

area and really cares about its reputation

and the quality of its work.

How is my home heated? Is it all compost

and bat guano?

Nope, we’ve taken a back–to–basics approach

with all the home heating systems – nothing

is super–fancy, but it is all incredibly efficient.

How does it work?

We’ve dropped a metaphorical tea cosy

over each home to make them as warm and

comfy as possible by keeping the heat in.

They all have super–insulated walls, roofs

and floors, and triple–glazed windows,

properly designed and constructed to avoid

the niggly little areas that in most homes

let heat leak out and draughts flow in. Each

home’s heating system will come with a

very efficient gas boiler.

We have a final system that carries out the

twin jobs of keeping the homes fresh and

airy, but also capturing and making even

more use of the heat we do generate. In the

warmer summer months, when we don’t

need to worry about heating rooms, the

homes will be ventilated as normal, but, as

the colder weather draws in, the Mechanical

Ventilation and Heat Recovery System will

kick in. Before it pumps it out of the house,

this system will steal the heat from the stale,

warm air that it sucks out of bathrooms and

kitchens. Then it will use it to pre-heat fresh

air that it pulls in from outside, which will

then air the rest of the rooms in the home.

All these wondrous things will chip, chip,

chip money off your energy bills.

Talking Applewood with Kevin McCloud

Who looks after all that shared space?

Some spaces, such as the green corridor, are wild, and don’t need

much looking after at all. Other things, such as the espaliered fruit

trees, will need more care. Responsibility for on-going maintenance

lies with the Estate Management Board (EMB), of which all residents

will be a member. The EMB also provides a forum for, say, creating

a neighbourhood agreement, discussing concerns, organising

street parties, whatever. Every household has the right to vote on

different proposals and on how the management budget is used.

Applewood EMB is also integrated with the Cashes Green

Community Land Trust (CLT), a group of residents from Applewood

itself and the Cashes Green area. The CLT owns the freehold of

some of the properties on site and works to constantly improve the

living environment for all local residents. At Applewood the CLT will

promote initiatives such as sustainable transport and the allotment

building, which are designed to bring the community together.

It will also seek ways to help residents who just need a hand

from time to time.

What happens if anything goes wrong?

We take out a 10–year premier guarantee build warranty on every

home, and under the policy the development is independently

inspected at each key build stage. By the time you take ownership

of your home, it has been through a series of regular checks, tests

and inspections. You also have a 12–month defects cover.
