The Old Library, Avenue Road, Leamington Spa CV31

Originally built in 1901, a well-established landmark in Leamington Spa . Despite various changes of use since its completion over a century ago, the building still boasts a wealth of original period features - from arched doorways to ornate cast-iron radiators. Local developers TAG Properties have worked their magic in restoring this architectural gem, creating luxurious and modern apartments finished to a very high standard promoting a high end, contemporary lifestyle, in arguably the most sought after development in the town.

In September 2014, the architect team won the prestigious Architects' Journal Retrofit Award. The blend of original features with a crisp, modern interior design along with complete retrofitting of the building with modern appliances and energy-efficient technology proved to be a winning combination for the judges. 

THE APPROACH Original wrought iron gates secure the property on the street, with a high tech intercom system connecting visitors to each apartment, with phone and video link. There is a well kept communal garden area between the gated entrance and glass doors where there is also another intercom system. From here you enter into the central communal courtyard area, which originally had an atrium roof, but has since been developed so that all the residential units can be directly accessed from this space.
