Development

Heritage with a contemporary twist

Formerly the Colne Grammar School, Derwent House dates to the late 1930s. Behind its grand façade, this imposing building has been sympathetically restored to offer an elegant combination of time-honoured craftsmanship and modern design.

Every effort has been made to create comfortable and spacious contemporary living spaces.

Each of the 23 luxury apartments is finished to exacting standards with attention to detail throughout. And unlike many developments of this nature, they enjoy unusually generous internal proportions, with sizeable floor areas ranging from 843 sq. ft. to 1,427 sq. ft.

With a security-gated, video entry system and each allocated parking space in the secure underground car park having an individual and safe storage area, Derwent House offers privacy, tranquility and security.
