Deeside Timberframe has been appointed to deliver a major affordable housing scheme in East Cowton, North Yorkshire—marking another significant step in our continued growth across the UK.
Commissioned by Adderstone Living and delivered on behalf of Karbon Homes Housing Association, the development will provide 68 much-needed homes in this rural village setting. The project includes 10 bungalows and 58 houses ranging from one to four bedrooms, all designed to meet high energy performance standards.
As part of a wider Homes England initiative to deliver over 2,000 new affordable homes across the North East and Yorkshire by 2026, the East Cowton development directly supports the UK Government’s targets for increasing the supply of high-quality, energy-efficient housing. By adopting modern timber frame construction, the project not only achieves outstanding sustainability credentials but also accelerates delivery—key to unlocking affordable homes at pace in areas of acute need.
Deeside Timberframe was awarded the contract through a competitive tender process and is responsible for the full manufacture, supply, and erection of the high-performance timber frame kits. Timber frame was selected for its speed of construction, thermal efficiency, and ability to reduce reliance on traditional bricklaying and on-site trades—an important consideration as labour shortages and rising costs continue to impact England’s construction sector.
Offsite manufacturing allows for greater predictability and control, with panels delivered to site ready for rapid assembly. This approach helps to maintain programme certainty, control costs, and minimise on-site disruption—all while achieving high standards of build quality.
Jamie Stainthorpe, Design Manager at Adderstone Living, praised the performance and professionalism of the Deeside team: “Credit to the design and installation team at East Cowton – the whole process has gone seamlessly. From the early stages of design development right through to delivery on site, Deeside Timberframe have brought clarity, technical expertise, and excellent communication. It’s been a pleasure working with a team so focused on getting things right first time.”
Following this strong performance, Deeside Timberframe is already in the quoting process for three further developments.
