Five Rivers Cohousing

We are creating a cohousing project in Sheffield 6 built to high environmental standards to reduce our carbon footprint. A greener, more neighbourly way to live

FEBRUARY 2024 has seen us starting to move in to our eco friendly cohousing development of 22 dwellings plus shared indoor and outdoor space. The process will continue during March as we get the Common House up and running, and remaining households move in. More updates soon!

On Saturday we walked the site, planning the paths and landscaping for our shared space. We saw inside our homes. And held our first camping chair meeting in the Common House!

The view of our scheme from the parkland beyond the construction fence. Just one 2b house and one 3b family home to allocate. Fab site, lovely bunch or people. Contact us without delay if you might be interested......
