Final Apartment For Sale In Restored Kempston Manor House
Storey Homes has completely renovated a striking manor house which dates back to 1854 and is surrounded by Grade-II listed architecture, and there’s now just one of its four new apartments still for sale.
The Bury is the centre piece of The Place in Kempston, south-west of Bedford, and has been converted to one- and two-bedroom homes combining up-to-date specification with original features including huge windows and high. The remaining two-bedroom apartment, priced at £319,950, offers the chance to live in a home brimming with character and local significance.
Heather Holl, sales and marketing director at Storey Homes, commented: “The apartments we have created are testament not only to the remarkable architecture of the Victorian era, but also the modern building materials and techniques which have been blended into the design. The stylish layout, exemplary specification and sustainable additions prioritise the modern buyer but equally reflect the fascinating origins of the building and place this at the heart of the homes. Our final apartment, with its mix of contemporary and historic, gives buyers one last opportunity to live at this enchanting residency.”
The Bury Apartments are situated to the right as one enters the development, with the landmark building overlooking the communal green space. Plot 55, the remaining home, boasts a floorplan of 920 sq ft. The second-floor apartment is accessed through the historic archway and up the original staircase. The apartment includes a generous living/dining/kitchen area, two bedrooms and a fully fitted contemporary bathroom. Maintaining its historic prevalence, the apartment features high ceilings, large windows and structural beams, notable features of the Victorian era. The kitchen includes a four-gas hob and oven, integrated fridge/freezer, feature chimney hood and low-energy lighting to the underside of soft-close units. The master bedroom benefits from a built-in wardrobe and the bathroom features Roca sanitaryware, Karndean flooring and a chrome towel rail.
Encompassing The Bury Apartments, a diverse range of homes comprise The Place, including spacious coach houses, charming cottage-style homes and double-fronted four-bedroom properties. One couple, Mandy and Robert, who are already residents at The Place said of the development and local area: “The areas of green space within the site enhance the countryside feel of the surroundings and attract lots of wonderful wildlife. Additionally, a lovely tight-knit community is starting to develop amongst the neighbours – everyone is very friendly. One of my favourite routes is walking through the Orchard in Kempston Rural. It is such a peaceful area and I know I will never get tired of it.”
