Mr A in sw o r th , o f G re a t Mitton,
described the task as a “challenge” — a challenge th a t has involved re-roofing
the bam with blue Welsh slates, mak ing doors and windows in th e thick
' wails and sandblasting the exterior to restore the bam to i ts orginal mellow com colour. : All over the Ribble Valley, redun dant buildings a re having a new lease of life breathed into them as they a re . converted into homes. However, none can be more unusual
than those found a t the former Brock- hall Hospital site, where nurses’ quar
te rs , have been converted into luxury apartments.
"The development, known as Brock-
hall Village, will transform some of the former hospital buildings an d e re c t brand new houses alongside them. . < [■
Property developer Mr Gerald Hit
man is th e man behin d th e d ev e l opment and he has made the village his home.
Mr Hitman’s apartment, where he
lived for several years, can be found in the centre of the former nurses’ hostel.
Designed for his own use, the apart
ment overlooks the croquet lawn arid its spacious lounge, kitchen and dining room a re ideal for entertaining par-
■ ties of up to 100 people. As Mr Hitman explained, the apart-
' ment is not short of luxury features. “Ju s t about the only , thing I miss from my years in London is the Turkish bath ."

: whirlpool bath and four-person s te am ' bath in my en-suite bathroom.”

' . ; Another unusual property a t the .vil lage is the .hospital’s former fire sta tion. The building, once used to house th e hospital’s fire engine, has been ren- o v a te d a n d .e x te n d e d so th a t i t is
; almost twice its original length. Ribble Valley p r id e s i ts e l f on_ the
high, standard of housing and th is 'is recognised annually with the borough’s C iv ic D e s ig n a n d C o n s e r v a t io n
Awards. There is never a shortage of proper
ties being put forward for the awards, which include sections for new devel opments, extensions and alterations to buildings and restoration and a lte ra
tions to historic buildings. Design and conservation officer Mr
Richard Kirkby pointed out th a t the Ribble Valley has a wealth of different houses and this makes i t an ideal loca tion for awards.
- Mr Kirkby said: . “There are over a
1,000 listed buildings in the Ribble Val- le y a n d the majority a re occupied. I t
■has a higher,number of listed buildings than any other borough in Lancashire.”
The Ribble Valley is clearly an open
door to a wide selection of houses, so, whatever your, ta s te , th e re is a key waiting to let you into your ideal home.
