Fortune turns at workhouse
Jul 23 2008 by Graeme King, The Journal
A FORMER workhouse has been refurbished as a luxury retirement community.
Springfield House at Stokesley, North Yorkshire, has been saved from dereliction and lavishly transformed into homes in one of the biggest luxury developments the market town has seen.
DKS Architects worked on the £4m scheme alongside S4Developments.
The refurbishment transformed Springfield House, Springfield Lodge and outbuildings into 28 apartments and homes. There are one- and two-bedroom flats and two penthouse apartments with a private lift.
Project architect Jeremy Hutchinson said: “This is a significant period building and we were excited and inspired by the challenge of restoring it to its former glory.
“The irony of converting a former workhouse into a luxury development is obvious, but only added to the appeal.”
