We are delighted to be involved in a very exciting new project for Lenchwood Christian Centre near Evesham. Situated in beautiful Worcestershire countryside, the centre is an ideal location for events, camping weeks or weekends away for churches, youth and other groups. To add to the existing event and conference accommodation, the new development will include seven log cabin mobile homes, each with three or four bedrooms. Set out in a double horse shoe layout with fantastic views over the surrounding countryside, the double and twin bedrooms will have their own en-suite bathroom with shower facilities.
Over the coming months, we will follow and document progress on site as it happens with regular updates and photos…
