Grendon Road - Phase 1

Grendon Road Almshouses is a grade ll listed building.

Grade II buildings are considered to be of special interest, and they have architectural or historic significance. It is important to restore these buildings as they are a part of our heritage and contribute to the character of our cities and towns. By restoring these buildings, we are preserving our history and ensuring that future generations can appreciate and learn from our past. Additionally, the restoration of Grade II buildings can help to stimulate local economies by creating jobs and attracting tourism.

The refurbishment has resulted in modern, energy-efficient housing for the residents while still retaining the building's historical charm. The apartments have been upgraded with new mechanical and electrical services, modern shower rooms, ensuite toilets, and kitchens.
