Conversion Work Complete On Hunter House In Kirkcaldy

Construction News Image
Conversion work on Hunter House in Kircaldy has been completed.

Kingdom Housing Association has completed the work on the Category B listed building which the Association purchased in 2020.

The conversion has produced five self-contained flats along with two common areas that will provide supported accomodation to older people experiencing recurring homelessness.

The project not only supports the Rapid Rehousing Strategy in Fife but also ensures the longevity of a classic building in Kirkcaldy town centre.

Bill Banks, Kingdom Group Chief Executive said: "The conversion work completed on Hunter House is incredible. Our designers and contractors have been able to retain many of the features that make this building unique and I’m confident that the new residents will enjoy the blend of classic architecture combined with modern design and materials.

"This project has only been possible due to the great support from Fife Council, The Scottish Government, Kingdom Support & Care and many other partners and I’m pleased that Kingdom is able to make affordable housing available in this iconic listed building."

The total project cost is around £880,000 and funding of £406,000 has been provided from the Scottish Government and Fife Council. The conversion works were designed by Bracewell Stirling Consultants and completed for Kingdom by Campion Homes.
