DERBYSHIRE, UK, September 30, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Work is now well underway in the thriving Peak District village of Hathersage, for the conversion of an impressive range of Grade II listed farm outbuildings into a high quality rural business centre.
Hathersage Hall Business Centre brings with it the prospect of exciting new job opportunities for the rural community of Hathersage, which is located 10 miles south west of Sheffield. The corporate identity for the business centre was unveiled on site on Thursday 25th September and the dedicated website http://www.hathersagebusiness.co.uk is now live.
Supported by the Derby & Derbyshire Economic Partnership, Hathersage Hall Business Centre is being built on one of the few designated employment sites in the Hope Valley. When completed in mid-2009, the development will offer 14,000 sq ft of prestige office space for up to 15 high quality businesses, which are intended to bring well-paid, service-based job opportunities to the local community.
Situated within the conservation area of the village, the construction of Hathersage Hall Business Centre is being seen as a landmark project in the restoration and conversion of old agricultural buildings into new use. The main contractor is local firm Graham Stuart Construction Ltd of Sheffield.
Considerable care is being taken to retain significant structural and aesthetic features of the original buildings, in co-operation with the conservation architect at the Peak District National Park. "It's very much a community-focused project" said Estate manager, Michael Shuttleworth: "... we are paying particular attention to landscaping to ensure that the new buildings complement and enhance their setting in the conservation area of the village. The offices will look out onto courtyard gardens and we are currently discussing management of the new orchard, which will be planted as part of the scheme, with the village allotment group."
The site at the top of the main road through the village, originally a farm, was improved and rebuilt as the coach house and stables to Hathersage Hall in the 1840's, reverting to a working farm in the 20th Century. It is now undergoing another metamorphosis to ensure its conservation well into the 21st Century and bringing new economic life to the heart of Hathersage.
For further details regarding available office space, on-site conference facilities and to keep up-to-date with developments at Hathersage Hall Business Centre over the coming months, please see the dedicated website: http://www.hathersagebusiness.co.uk
