POTENTIAL buyers will soon be able to get a first look at new apartments in Lichfield,.
Elan Homes will open the redeveloped Lorne House off Rotten Row for the first time on 10th and 11th January.
The company has already built and sold eight new homes at The Sidings scheme and is now preparing to offer the apartments for sale too.
The building had previously been used as a gym before being sold to the developer.
Elan Homes’ regional sales director Tracey Ball said:
“The redevelopment of Lorne House to provide apartments is an unusual project and there’s a real sense of curiosity among potential purchasers.
“We’ve tried to honour the history and integrity of the building as much as practical. There are two apartments on each of the three floors, with some quirky designs because it’s an older building.
“One of the most striking features is the vaulted ceilings with exposed steel in the penthouses. The two ground floor apartments have their own separate entrances and courtyard gardens, while those on the upper floors will be accessed via a central lobby and staircase or lift.
“Most of the enquiries we’ve received about the apartments have been from people looking to downsize to somewhere more manageable after their children have moved onto homes of their own and want to live close to the centre of Lichfield.
“Feedback is they’re eager to see the apartments for themselves to help them appreciate the different layouts before committing to buy. It wasn’t practical to have people viewing while work was ongoing, but we’ve now reached a stage where it’s safe for buyers to come and view.”
The apartments are priced from £385,000 to £430,000. For more details visit the Elan Homes website.
