(Formerly Stoke House)

1 Lloyd Crescent, Coventry, CV2 5NY

 

The secluded site consists of a Grade II listed former gentleman’s residence “Stoke House” with former coach house and stable block. Adjoining the main residence is a secure unit which was designated for youth offenders. The secure unit ceased operation and the site was used as office accommodation for the City Councils Social Services department and the building design did not enable the flexibility to be remodelled to meet current standards and to meet more general care home requirements.

 

The proposal sees the secure unit replaced with a new building comprising a total of 70 single occupant bedrooms with en-suite shower room, in 4 no. 10 bed and 2 no. 15 bed clusters. Shared communal facilities comprise a ground floor foyer / café, activity room, hair salon, cinema, private dining room; communal facilities within each cluster comprise a communal lounge / dining room and kitchen, assisted bathroom, nurses’ station and associated sluice room, and supporting accommodation comprises a managers and administration office. Stoke House will be refurbished to provide offices, staff rest room, changing and overnight facility, main kitchen, laundry, plant room and stores.

 

Completed: November 2014
