More homes to be released at Old Hospital in Maidstone
Comments |
Rare and historic converted properties will be released at
Higgins Homes' development, the Old Hospital, in Maidstone town
centre, later this month.
The apartments, set in a former Victorian hospital, are all
individual and packed full of period features ranging from original
flooring and wall panelling to dado and picture rails.
With just 17 apartments available in the renowned building, the
homes will represent a unique addition to the Kent property
market.
The Grade II listed former ophthalmic and aural hospital is
being sensitively converted into a range of studios, one, two and
three-bedroom luxury apartments by Higgins Homes, the award-winning
builder.
Jeremy Marcus, sales and marketing director of Higgins Homes,
said: "The Old Hospital is a historic landmark in the centre of
Maidstone, so we wanted to create a selection of properties which
will allow a diverse range of people to live there. The main
hospital building is being completely renovated and we are
preserving everything we can, from the spectacular colonnade
gallery to the original cornicing.
"There is nothing quite like this on the market at the moment,
so we are expecting these properties to sell very quickly."
Set around a landscaped courtyard, 57 new homes are also being
created on this central brownfield site behind the High Street,
just off Church Street.
These properties combine sleek contemporary glass panels and
wooden panelling with period-style stonework to reflect the
historic buildings.
Each apartment is fitted with a contemporary kitchen from a
leading designer, which incorporates a stainless steel oven and
hob, an integrated fridge freezer and a washer-dryer.
Prices will be released on Saturday, February 27. To register
interest, contact Higgins Homes on 01438 746 930.
