Five Apartments Released at The Old Hospital
Story posted: 26/06/2009
In a fabulous location in the heart of Maidstone, one of Kent’s most stunning Grade II listed Georgian landmarks, ‘The Old Hospital’, the former Ophthalmic and Aural Hospital is being carefully restored and converted into 17 one and two bedroom luxury apartments by award winning house builder, Higgins Homes.
Set around the same landscaped courtyard, 57 new homes are also being created on this central brownfield site behind the High Street, just off Church Street. The new homes cleverly combine sleek contemporary architecture with period style features and characteristics to reflect the historic buildings. Higgins Homes released its first one and two bedroom apartments for sale last week, with reservations being made by excited buyers days before the launch.
Jeremy Marcus, Sales and Marketing Director of Higgins Homes, comments: “The Old Hospital is a very exciting venture for Higgins Homes. It is a beautiful property and we are enjoying restoring the building to its original splendour and giving the site a new lease of life with the addition of our contemporary new homes. They are fantastic value for money and have already sparked a lot of local interest, which is very promising.”
The apartments are all fitted with contemporary kitchens from leading designer Urban Myth. Each property is also fitted with a stainless steel oven, a ceramic hob, an integrated fridge/freezer and a washer/dryer. The properties are heated with an economical and ecologically friendly air-driven heat exchange system, which is one of the reasons why the development received a ‘Very Good’ rating under Code 3 of The Code for Sustainable Homes.
The historic town of Maidstone is just 37 miles* from London. The capital is easily accessible with regular direct trains to London Victoria taking under an hour.** Maidstone town centre has a range of restaurants, bars, cafes and an array of boutique and high street shops.
Prices at this unique development start at £129,950 for a one bedroom apartment and £169,500 for a two bedroom apartment. For further information and brochure requests please contact Higgins Homes on telephone: 01438 746 930. *RAC route planner** National Rail
