Hereford Hospital
Regeneration of the Georgian Hereford General Hospital and creation of new urban quarter
The development has been built as a partnership between Laing Homes and Marches Housing Association. The conversion of the hospital complex provides fifty conversion apartments together with 42 new-build dwellings. The four two-bedroom shared ownership houses have been sold on a shared equity basis. The ten rented properties have all been allocated to people with local connections with Herefordshire.
As a purpose built hospital of the late 18th Century, Hereford Hospital has both architectural and historical value. Boughton Butler provided the client with a well-thought out response; removing those parts of the listed structure that obscure the original form and reinstated the rear elevation as far as possible to be close to the C18th block with wings retained to form the main frontage.
