Esh Construction Completes Multimillion-Pound Beddell House Refurbishment

Esh Construction has recently completed a multi-million-pound refurbishment project at Beddell House in County Durham, located in England.

Esh Living, the affordable housing delivery arm of Esh Construction, completed work to restore the Grade II-listed residential care home in Sherburn earlier this year, with the two-and-a-half-year project for Sherburn House Charity Ltd.

Six phases of internal and external refurbishments were completed to create a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments with bathroom and living room, communal areas, a dining area and a new catering kitchen—transforming the accommodations and provisions for residents into a luxurious and attractive place to live.

The result is a high-end hotel-style décor, which includes a communal cinema room, bar, lounge, salon and orangery. A new energy-efficient heating system was installed alongside historically appropriate double-glazed windows, which considered the building’s listed status.

Although the residential home remained operational throughout the project, disruption was kept to a minimum, and regular events, including coffee mornings, helped to create a strong working relationship with staff and residents.
