With the multi-level nature of the site and the need to undertake careful civil engineering works, together with the outbreak of Covid and more recently hold ups in the supply of building materials, the formal launch of The Wool House was unavoidably delayed until May
And with the developers of the apartments, which is under construction on the former swimming pool site in Gilesgate in Hexham and marketed by youngsRPS, recently agreeing prices on a selection of apartments within the luxury development, interest has soared.
Kim Harrison of youngsRPS commented: “It is extremely difficult right now for developers and indeed anyone involved in construction, to know from one week to the next how much materials are going to cost and even if they are going to be available – especially those that are imported.
The Wool House offers a choice of forty-five one and two-bed apartments, duplexes and penthouse apartments on six floors and with views across the Tyne Valley or the town towards Hexham Abbey, it looks set to be an extremely popular scheme.
Quite simply, there is no other development like it in Northumberland, let alone Hexham, because it combines a superb location in the heart of a bustling market town and offers a high specification of build and finish with a wide choice of accommodation. It also has the added benefits of on-site parking and private gardens.
We are really excited to be involved in such a fabulous scheme, which will make a major contribution to the choice of housing on offer in and around the town.” Director of The Wool House, Bob Skelly, added: “We wanted to bring some peace of mind to interested parties and as there has been such strong interest in the apartments, we felt it was a good idea to fix costs on some for those who wish to reserve early which they can do with a reservation fee of £1,000.
“This means that for anyone who reserves now, we will guarantee pricing until the Autumn.” The Wool House show apartment should be open by end of the year, the costs of the individual apartment types should be agreed by September/ October and the overall development will be complete at around Easter 2023.
