Berkeley House Luxury Apartments, Harrogate

Project Summary: The Residential Development in South Park Road close to the centre of Harrogate comprised the alteration and refurbishment of an existing four storey building into six Luxury Apartments. In addition and in order to fully utilise the grounds of the existing property a new three storey stone extension was built within the former car park and gardens. The extension complemented the existing property and included a feature circulation link block between the two buildings. The extension generated a further five Luxury Apartments and under croft car parking.

Ian Summersgill of Linchpin Ltd commented: “Despite having to operate within very challenging and restrictive site conditions…the building and apartments were finished to a very high quality and specification, with both the old and the new essentially blending into one extraordinarily attractive building.
