WORK has started on plans to renovate and restore Axwell Hall. Last year, DARE (Northern) Ltd of Penrith, Cumbria, were given planning permission to convert Axwell Hall into 23 apartments and to build 18 further houses and 9 apartments.
The rear annexe of the hall will be demolished and renovation will take place to the balustrade and terrace. 18 houses will be built at neighbouring Clavering House, Axwell Park. The walled garden and historic estate parklands will also be renovated. The former Clavering House educational institution will be demolished and Axwell Bridge will be repaired.
"Axwell Hall itself has been standing empty for a number of years and there is a need to bring it into use or otherwise it will continue to deteriorate," said Mark Gardner, Lib Dem campaigner in Axwell Park and Shibdon.
"This scheme will help restore a once great building to productive use and renovate an important historical site. It will hopefully mean that people here will not have to live with a derelict building on their doorsteps."
