Bloomer House Development, Long Eaton
This site was previously occupied by a corner shop which was burnt to the ground and demolished in 1997. The land was unoccupied for the next 10 years and was a general eye saw on one of the busiest streets in Long Eaton until in January 2007 Sharpe Properties acquired it. Planning was soon applied for and granted to build a commercial and residential mixed unit later named Bloomer House after Dr. Bloomer, a famous physician who worked on this part of Derby Road in the late 19th century.
The challenging aspects of this build proved to be a lack of space (as all the land was taken up by the building) and the footings (due to unforeseen cellars and wells being discovered). This was soon overcome though and the rest of the build ran smoothly right up to completion in January 2008.
The building comprises three town houses on the Bridge Street side which are all very spacious two bed with double car ports on the ground floor, as well as a shop to the Derby Road side and a two bed flat above.
The shop, still owned by Sharpe Properties, is now used as our office comprising the building services side as well as an estate agents and letting agents.
