Beechcroft wins prestigious property award for The Clock House, Byfleet
Home owners at Beechcroft’s The Clock House in Byfleet consider this exclusive collection of carefully-designed homes set in beautifully landscaped grounds to be an outstanding example of what a retirement development should be. The judging panel at The Evening Standard Homes & Property Awards 2010 agree; The Clock House received a Special Commendation in ‘The Best New Retirement Development‘ category at a glittering London ceremony.
“We are delighted that The Clock House has been recognised as one of the top retirement developments,” comments Angela South, Sales and Marketing Director, who collected the award, along with Managing Director, Chris Thompson. “The award recognises the time and the effort that has been invested into designing and creating this elegant courtyard development.
Parts of the original Clock House date back to the 18th century. Beechcroft’s careful restoration work, which has take two years to complete, has created nine two-bedroom apartments in the Grade II listed Clock House building and a further 16 apartments and houses in the new Coach House and Mill Lane buildings.
The gardens are a triumph. When Beechcroft acquired The Clock House the grounds were so overgrown that the ancient pond was declared ‘dead.’ Working with author, broadcaster and wildlife expert, Professor Chris Baines, Beechcroft has transformed the gardens into a haven featuring flowerbeds, a wildflower meadow, wildlife pond and a small wooded area. It has become a rich mosaic of wildlife habitats with dragonflies and damselflies, ducks and moorhens.
Only four apartments remain available; all in the converted Clock House building. These new apartments provide the best of both worlds - period features combined with high quality contemporary fittings. What’s more, owners at The Clock House will be able to enjoy their retirement with an Estate Manager on hand to take care of the day-to-day administration of the development.
For further information on The Clock House where prices start from £299,950 for an apartment, please contact the Beechcroft sales team on 01932 342373, Tuesday to Saturday inclusive from 10 am to 5 pm.
