BUPA JOINS THE RENAISSANCE

Goldsborough Estates, a member of the Bupa Group, has been appointed to manage a range of 42 one and two-bedroom luxury apartments, which are located in Neston’s former police station. Extensive restoration to the landmark building has given it a new lease of life in time for its 70th anniversary this year – hence the choice of name Renaissance. It offers a fresh start for people aged over 55 years possibly looking to downsize, make a move locally or come into the area. Original features of the two-storey building which have been retained include an impressive facade of seven bays, a central parapet and sash windows. The existing building is complemented by the addition of a two and a half-storey new-build to the rear. Internal features such as the grand central stairway and deco balustrade have also been preserved. In addition to the range of high specification apartments there will be a residents’ meeting area, lounge with an open courtyard, gymnasium and IT suite. Residents will also have the benefit of a daytime concierge service. And it is not just the interior that is being given careful consideration. An additional formal garden area, featuring hard and soft landscaping, seating areas, boxed hedges, fountains and stone paths will enhance the experience for residents and guests alike. Simon Crewe, Goldsborough Estates’ Operations Director, comments: “We are delighted to have signed a 10 year management agreement with the developers of Renaissance. It is a beautiful building which will cater for all resident’s needs, while also allowing them to retain their independence. The building is of significant importance to the heritage of the local area and its conversion into deluxe apartments has been undertaken with appropriate sensitivity.” The locally-listed building, located on the Hinderton Road, has made a significant contribution to the identity of Neston since its original opening in 1939. Since then the site, covering just over an acre, has played home to the neo-Georgian police station, scientific support unit as well as two police houses, two courts and further support buildings. Prices for the development range from £145,000 to £249,000. The sales centre is now open on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10.30 am to 5.00pm. You can view the completed communal areas and the two bedroom show apartment.
