NEW SHOWHOME AT SHROPSHIRE CONVERSION PROJECT

30.03.06

One of Shropshire’s most unusual and interesting residential developments now offers an additional attraction – a stunning three-bedroom fully furnished showhome.

Cumberland Mews, a striking conversion by Adonis Homes of the old Cumberland Hotel in Broseley, near Ironbridge, offers two, three and four-bedroom properties in the main house and a former outbuilding, as well as five brand new two-bedroom cottages built in the extensive grounds.

The new showhome occupies the largest of the three-bedroom properties within the original house. It incorporates a stunning double height master bedroom with a mezzanine gallery/study over. As with the other conversion properties in the scheme, features such as marble fire surrounds, original tiled floors and high-corniced ceilings have been retained and incorporated into the design.

Adonis Homes worked closely with local conservation officers to preserve and enhance the period character of the listed building. The old hotel has an imposing double frontage elevation which dates principally from the nineteenth century, although within there are features which are believed to be from much earlier periods.  One of the properties has an impressive entrance leading to a central hall with a geometric and encaustic tiled floor of local origin, a winding staircase and galleried landing.

Cumberland Mews is the flagship development for Black Country-based Adonis Homes, and managing director Neville Clements believes it offers home hunters a unique opportunity to enjoy the benefits of modern living while owning their own piece of local history.

“We’re very proud of this development, which helps conserve an important local building and enhances the surrounding environment,” he said.

“Cumberland Mews offers a 21st century take on traditional village life, combining authentic period features with modern kitchens and bathrooms, and the design, insulation, security and low maintenance features that today’s homebuyers expect.”

Seven properties remain available, priced from £165,000 for a two-bedroom new build to £290,000 for a large three-bedroom conversion.

Cumberland Mews is open by appointment only. For further information contact the joint selling agents, Lane Fox on 01746 766626 or Nick Tart on 01952 884494.
