About

Creating and building a modern home in the UK takes grit and determination. The Chess Valley Project (The CVP) aims to share the knowledge and space from this unique experience. We provide a range of services such as location and holiday rentals along with public speaking and coaching.

An unique building nestled within the suburbs

On the outside, it is covered in knapped flint and charred timber; internal floor space is over 300m2, with the detached building being set in a suburban setting, on third of an acre. The building has been built to a high eco spec - with an airsource heat pump and triple glazing and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.
