residential development, leigh

The proposed residential development consists of 20no. 3-bedroom town-houses and 20no. one and two-bedroom apartments within the Leigh conservation area.

The four-storey high apartment building sits on the footprint of the existing former college gymnasium building retaining and refurbishing its protected front façade. The side walls, as well as the rest of the new building are proposed as new whilst respecting the original gymnasium building by recognising the eaves height in the way the zinc clad upper floors meet the new brick walls below.

The terraced houses are laid over 3 floors providing its future residents with ample living space consisting of open-plan kitchen-dining-family room, utility room, downstairs toilet, first floor lounge, master bedroom with en-suite and two more double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
