Conversion of a period property into luxury apartments HP10

 

Project type

Conversion of period religious building into residential accommodation

Space created:

 Two 2 bedroom luxury apartments created

Background to project

The challenge here was to take an old characterful Baptist Chapel, and modernise the building to provide the latest amenities whilst keeping the features of the special and unique property that is located in a village.   NSP were well suited to this type of project, having undertaken many projects on Victorian and Georgian period properties.  Working on older properties can provide requirements that are as individual as the property itself, including the replacement of rotten or poor quality materials that can only be ascertained once it has been uncovered, a factor that can be often overlooked by clients when budgeting for the project prior to commencement. As the scheme planned was to separate the property into 2 self contained apartments, the property would need to achieve a required level of sound insulation. However the testing process meant that only once the property was finished would it become apparent whether or not the insulation fitted was sufficient. NSP therefore set about researching appropriate systems that would offer greater guarantee against experiencing expensive refitting after completion.  They therefore settled on a British Gypsum sound proofing system, and worked very closely with the British Gypsum support and sales team to make sure the installation was installed correctly.  NSP’s attention to detail paid off, as at the sound testing, both apartments passed with flying colours, in fact the sound testing technician indicated that the apartments were some of the best he had tested, and had reached higher than average results.

NSP  were also very involved with the design of the room division, and the style and finish of each apartment. Due to the nature of each floor (working closely with their trade partners), two different styles were chosen.  As can be observed in the picture, both properties are finished to a high standard, however the ground floor has been finished in a more cutting edge contemporary style, with the first floor featuring some of the properties period features accompanied by a more homely and comfortable feel.      

 

Conclusion

 NSP have throughout this extensive experience, created two very special and unique homes placed in a village environment, that it would be very difficult to find an equivalent of within a 50 mile radius on the properties.  As such the properties were received well and given positive feedback from the estate agent, with comments like “Please can you provide me more properties of this standard, as I have clients for these continuously”.
