Here at Ida Homes, we don’t just build new homes in Northumberland. We recently discovered an amazing old building, Shoreston Hall which lies between Seahouses and Bamburgh and have submitted an application to convert this beautiful historic hall into luxurious new homes.
It’s without a doubt that there are countless benefits to buying a new build home in Northumberland, but when this can be combined with the character of a historic hall, what’s not to love!
You may not have considered buying such a property, but there are many advantages of converting old buildings into new homes.
Preserving History
Old buildings often come with unique architectural details, character, and craftsmanship that are hard to replicate in new constructions. Converting them into homes ensures that these historical treasures are preserved for future generations to admire and enjoy. Whether it's intricate mouldings, vintage fireplaces, or grand staircases, these features add charm and personality to your living space.
Sustainability
Renovating old buildings can be more environmentally friendly than constructing new ones. By repurposing existing structures, we reduce the need for new materials and the energy required for manufacturing and transportation. This approach aligns with sustainable living principles and contributes to a greener future.
Community Revitalization
Converting old buildings into new homes often breathes new life into neglected neighbourhoods. As homes replace abandoned structures, communities can experience a revitalization, with increased foot traffic, local businesses thriving, and a stronger sense of community cohesion. It's a win-win for both residents and the areas they inhabit.
Unique Living Spaces
Old buildings offer a distinctive living experience that is hard to find in modern developments. From converted warehouses with high ceilings to historic brownstones with intricate facades, these homes provide a unique blend of history and modernity, creating spaces that are truly one-of-a-kind.
