Built in a number of phases, the development at Blake Close incorporates a variety of different dwelling types which helps to create a sense of community. Started in 2007 by accessing the site via the garden of number 105 Cotes Road, the existing house was refurbished and extended. The first phase continued with the construction of 4 dwellings and subsequent phases progressed well to a final development of 9 stylish and well-designed dwellings. The scheme as a whole received a Commended Award at the 2015 Charnwood Borough Council Design Awards.
