Capturing the character and the atmosphere of historic buildings in the heart of a rural village and giving them a fresh life in the modern world was the aim of this 25 home development.
The range of outbuildings at Old Hall Farm in Cottesmore stood derelict for years.
Hazelton Homes has married the conversion of the run-down outbuildings and cottage into 12 terraced homes with the building of 13 new properties constructed in a matching and integrated style.
Dating back to the 16th century, the outbuildings at Old Hall Farm are Grade II listed. The challenge was rejuvenating them into homes which meet the high-quality comfort requirements of today’s buyers while protecting and preserving the features which tie them to the village’s past.
Old Hall Farm and its outbuildings once belonged to Cottesmore Hall, which was all but destroyed in a fire in 1928 during a refurbishment. Hazelton Homes bought the derelict outbuildings in 2010.
The project included converting the redundant farm structures and replacing unwanted and unsightly steel constructions with a new residential area integrated with the listed buildings development.
A further aim was to enhance the village scene through adding a new courtyard and providing affordable housing and parking spaces for existing neighbours.
A former village police station site was redeveloped with a range of nine apartments, external landscaping and car park.
The Ashton, John Street, Hinckley is a 72 bed nursing home providing residential, nursing and dementia care for the elderly.
