Iconic Shrewsbury housing development completed

SJ Roberts Construction and Floreat Homes, Connexus' outright sale brand, have marked the completion of Radbrook Village in Shrewsbury with an event attended by representatives of both businesses, as well as the local council.

The completion follows eight years on site that has included the restoration and conversion of both Radbrook Hall, a former Victorian schoolhouse, and Walker House which was part of the college which stood on the site until 2014. 88 Scandinavian-inspired new-build homes ranging in size from three-, to five-bedrooms, and 22 assisted living units complete the new community.

The final phase of the development was started in 2023 and focused on the transformation of Walker House into two large semi-detached homes, offering period styling with modern features, as well as 25 new homes, four of which have been made available for shared ownership.

Commenting on completion of the project, Mike Sambrook managing director at SJ Roberts Construction, said:

“Today marks the completion of a very special project for SJ Roberts Construction. Having partnered with Floreat Homes since the start of this project, it is fantastic to see not only how the existing buildings on the site have transformed, but also how they’ve blended so well with the new homes that we’ve built.

“The community that has been created here is clear to see and we hope that the residents will enjoy being part of such an iconic development.”

Attendees at the completion event also had the opportunity to meet with residents of Radbrook Village who spoke positively of the design and quality of their new homes.

Amanda Knowles head of development at Connexus said:

“We’re really pleased to be celebrating the completion of Radbrook Village which has been built over 4 phases. A big thank you S J Roberts for their professional approach and for creating 130 quality homes which are much admired. We look forward to working with them again at our scheme in Marton.”
