The conversation forms 5 new modern residential units which is sympathetic to its heritage and B Category listing, It now comprises 2nr x 1 bedroom apartments to the west end and 2nr x 2 bedroom apartments to the east end and an enviable and substantial 4 bedroom townhouse which remains prominent to the central core of this remarkable building, the townhouse reflects its 18th century original layout as a ‘T’ shaped villa over 3 floors, further complimented with the grand doric porch entrance which leads to the newly renovated and original curved staircase, which is set within a 46 paned georgian styled paladium window to the rear.
We know the redevelopment was received by the local community with much interest and who no doubt welcomed back the House to its former glory. It once again stands pride of place at the heart of and overlooking the new town, which has developed around it, in just a very short period of the buildings very long history.
The house had been subject to many unfortunate circumstances over recent years, which resulted in the property falling into an ever accelerating dilapidation. However, we can confirm that works to protect the building from further decay and vandalism were completed in early 2013.
Start/Completion: February 2012 – March 2013.
