A section of houses in Chesterfield which have been unoccupied for many years are being brought back to life, following a collaboration between two property businesses.
The buildings at 18-20 Highfield Road date back over 150 years, and are now being restored into high-end and co-living homes.
Once complete, the properties will be managed by Dovedale Property Lettings, who are working alongside Property Projects Group on the revamp.
The works will also greatly improve the energy efficiency of the properties, with plenty of insulation being installed ready for the arrival of new occupants.
Rick Cusimano, Co-Owner of Dovedale Property Lettings, explained the story behind the project: “Overgrown with trees and weeds, the houses were barely visible from the road for many years.
“I first became aware of them around 5 years ago, when I tried to make some enquiries to locate the owners, to no avail. Eventually, I saw them go up for auction and immediately knew I had to try and restore them if I could.
“Mark-Jonathan Wilkinson from Property Projects Group shared my vision for bringing these properties back into use and after a few visits he decided to take it on! His team is doing a great job over there.
“With super-fast broadband and modern decor, these will be stunning places to live. I’m incredibly excited to be able to restore these houses to high-end homes, it’ll be an incredible transformation. Work is progressing well and we’re hoping to be able to officially launch in August this year!”
