Places for People – Buckinghamshire
Places for People, one of the UK’s leading development and regeneration groups, is behind the Wolverton Park development which is set to provide 300 homes, on a 10.5 acre site running alongside the Grand Union Canal.Three Grade II listed buildings form the heart of the new scheme – the former Royal Train Shed, the Triangular Building where locomotives and carriages were built, and a Reading Room which was an educational facility for the works’ employees. These are being converted into a selection of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom townhouses.
The addition of Trevithick Court and Hamilton House, two new buildings overlooking the park which is to form a focal feature of the scheme, will provide an extra 223 apartments.
The new-build homes are due to be launched on the weekend of 27 September. The homes within the converted Triangular Building and Royal Train Shed are scheduled to be launched in 2009. Prices start from as little as £69,995 (for a 50% share) and from £150,000 for a privately owned one-bedroom apartment overlooking the canal.
