Thurnby Court
“A beautiful, bright Span apartment in a peaceful corner of Strawberry Hill”
Positioned on the top floor of a beautiful Span estate in Strawberry Hill, this two-bedroom apartment is characterised by a bright, peaceful atmosphere. Span is perhaps the most celebrated of all 20th-century British residential developers, renowned for their outstanding yet simple modern architectural style and considered landscaping. This apartment exemplifies the tenets of their designs, using clean lines and pared-back detailing to create a warm, welcoming home. Thurby Court itself is surrounded by beautiful communal gardens that create a constant feeling of connection with the outdoors - another focus of Span housing.

History
Span is perhaps the most celebrated of all 20th-century residential developers. The company built 30 housing estates between 1948 and 1984, with many of their buildings throughout the south of England now listed. Founded by architect-turned-developer Geoff Townsend and Eric Lyons (thoroughly schooled in the modern style having worked for Bauhaus designer Walter Gropius from 1936-37), their designs sought to bring the tenants of modernism – light, openness and a sense of order – to suburban areas on a domestic scale.
