A \u00a31.1m refurbishment project in Manchester has turned historic cottages into affordable homes after being abandoned for almost a decade<\/h2>\n

Known as Westwood Cottages, the six terraced houses in Raby Street, Moss Side, have Grade II listed status and will be redeveloped into affordable homes by MC Construction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The cottages are owned by One Manchester<\/a> who appointed MC Construction after the granting of planning approval and listed building consent.<\/p>\n

The cottages are in an area of Moss Side earmarked for regeneration, including the delivery of new and suitable housing stock.<\/p>\n

The cottages were originally built in 1876 as an early form of social housing<\/a><\/h3>\n

The cottages were built in 1876 as alms houses, a form of charitable housing common at the time. They were built by prominent industrialist John Robinson as a tribute to his sister, Edith Marianne Robinson, who died young. They stand as individual dwellings in one block built in Flemish Gothic style.<\/p>\n

Last vacated almost a decade ago, the condition of the cottages has deteriorated significantly. Many original features have been removed and vandalism has occurred.<\/p>\n

MC Construction\u2019s team carried out a comprehensive programme of internal and external repairs and refurbishments and the cottages have now been returned to use as two-bedroom affordable homes for rent.<\/p>\n

Historical features and heritage-approved materials have been used in the refurbishment<\/h3>\n

The project team worked closely with local heritage and planning officers to ensure the building was sympathetically refurbished<\/a>. This involved retaining and restoring key features, including original gothic arched front doors, and using heritage-approved materials such as ironmonger, cast-iron guttering and timber framed casement windows.<\/p>\n

Internal refurbishments include the installation of a new kitchen, bathroom, boiler and heating system and a rewire.<\/p>\n

Additional living space has been created at each cottage with a single-storey rear glazed extension to form a conservatory, making the homes more suitable for family accommodation.<\/p>\n

Historical features such as mosaic porch floor tiles and the front doors have been retained.<\/p>\n

The external works have included a refurbishment of the roof, new windows, repairs to the brickwork, chimneys and stonework, and landscaping.<\/p>\n

David Lowe, managing director at MC Construction, said: \u201cWorking closely with a number of key stakeholders, we have successfully retained a part of the city\u2019s heritage while giving a new lease of life to this historic building to provide affordable and energy-efficient homes for families<\/a> in an area where there is a need for this type of accommodation.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Manchester chief executive Nicole Kershaw said: \u201cI am delighted to see the Grade II listed Westwood Cottages back in use as affordable homes for local families.” \"One<\/p>\n

\u201cThe cottages had been empty for several years, and we have worked hard\u00a0to create light and spacious contemporary homes internally, whilst preserving the heritage qualities and landscaped shared gardens.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have also improved the insulation<\/a> levels to achieve our 2030 energy efficiency targets, meaning the homes will be warm and affordable to run.\u201d<\/p>\n
