Herbert Baggaley digs into Newark refurb
Mansfield-based Herbert Baggaley Construction has commenced work on a £630,000 refurbishment project to convert a Grade II listed building into two-storey warden accommodation.
The construction scheme in Newark will convert the property, previously occupied by Mount Lane School, into warden accommodation and communal facilities.
The property, which is now owned by St Leonard’s Hospital Trust, is situated on Mount Lane in the centre of the town.
Ian Baggaley, managing director of Mansfield based Herbert Baggaley Construction, said: "Our focus will be on ensuring that we carry out the sympathetic restoration of this Grade II listed building whilst clearly being mindful of the challenges that working in a busy town centre location brings. It is a great project to work on and we look forward to seeing the building fully restored."
It is the first phase of a wider scheme designed by Guy St John Taylor Associates of Newark to create 22 units of warden assisted accommodation for the elderly.
Twelve sheltered accommodation units will follow the initial refurbishment. Construction of the third phase which will include a further ten units will begin once additional funding has been secured, said Herbert Baggaley.
