A new build estate to be built by Stoford Living and designed by BBLB Architects. Costing £4 million, it will cover 18,000 sq ft at Mansfield Road and will see the building of 16 new houses and the conversion of Grade II-listed Pinfold barn to two new homes. The timber-framed outhouse, dating back to the 17th Century, used to be a garage for historic Jowett Cars, which produced the legendary Jowett Jupiter that won Le Mans three years in succession in the early 1950s. It was more recently an automotive tool shop. Work is expected to begin on site in Spring 2008. The Pinfold name comes from the medieval ‘pinfold’, an area in which stray animals were herded and owners had to pay for their release.
