Two local businesses are toasting the early success of a major
property conversion in Nuneaton.
Warwickshire-based Cartwright Homes are carefully converting the
Fox & Crane pub, off Weddington Road into apartments a well as
creating further new homes on the site.
In total, the company will create 25 new properties at Grove
Park - including everything from apartments to four-bedroom family
houses - and already much of the work is complete.
Nine homes have now been reserved by buyers through Coventry and
Warwickshire agents Shortland Horne and the first people have moved
into their property.
Andrew Cartwright of Cartwright Homes said, "We are a local firm
and are delighted to be putting this site to good use.
"We are converting the existing pub - which is moving along well
- and we are getting very positive feedback on the whole
development from buyers and from local people generally.
"This is a great area and we wanted to create homes that would
be in keeping with the surroundings and we are very pleased with
the results so far.
"The proof of the pudding is always in the eating. We have
achieved the first occupation and have two more purchasers moving
in this month and the fact that nine other buyers have already
reserved homes is the best seal of approval that we could ask
for."
Prices at the development start at £145,000 and go up to
£310,000 for a four-bedroom house.
Tom Hewitt of Shortland Horne said the interest in the
development remained high and that the two companies had worked
well together.
He said "Grove Park has proved to be popular and the two biggest
factors in that are the location and the quality of workmanship and
finish from Cartwright Homes - as well as the amount of space in
each home.
"We are delighted with the way sales have gone so far and look
forward to continued success here."
