Bourne (near Peterborough) based Larkfleet Homes (www.larkfleethomes.co.uk) has handed over the keys for a new parsonage for the priest in charge of the Peterborough parishes of Eye, Thorney and Newborough.
The parsonage, which is on Thorney Road in Eye, is a four-bedroom house which was specifically designed and built for the Peterborough diocese in accordance with the Church Commissioners’ document ‘Parsonages: A Design Guide’ (known as the ‘Green Guide’). The guide sets out specific design and construction requirements to suit the use of the home as a parsonage.
A spokesman for the Peterborough diocese said: “We are committed to the principle of assisting in the creation of true communities. The provision of a purpose-built parsonage on a strategic new development will help to provide pastoral and spiritual support to people in the area.
“We are grateful to Larkfleet Homes for building this new parsonage which will replace our old vicarage which was below current standards.”
Karl Hick, managing director at Larkfleet Homes, said: “This was an unusual project for us to work on. We hope to have more bespoke projects such as this in the future.“
