Wivey Pool
Bespoke New Homes · Wiveliscombe, Somerset
Complete transformation of the aging facilities at Wivey Pool – a much-loved community outdoor swimming facility in Wiveliscombe since 1927 – replacing wooden sheds with a modern, accessible pool house featuring bifold doors, solar panels, a kitchenette, & full wheelchair access.
The Brief
Nestled in the heart of Wiveliscombe, Somerset, Wivey Pool is a much loved outdoor swimming facility that has been at the centre of community life since 1927. This 30 yard heated pool offers a welcoming space for people of all ages & abilities. As a Charity run by dedicated local volunteers, the pool is more than just a place to swim – it's a social hub where friendships are formed, events are hosted & generations come together to enjoy the outdoors.
The Build
We were proud to deliver a project that combines thoughtful design, community value & high-quality craftsmanship. This build involved the complete transformation of an outdated facility into a modern, accessible & welcoming space for visitors, swimmers & volunteers alike.
The Finished Project
Prior to redevelopment, the facilities reflected the pool's long history but could not fully meet the needs for year round swimming. The development site was occupied by a collection of aging wooden sheds. With the pool approaching its centenary & continuing to grow in popularity, the Trustees felt that a new Pool House was needed.
