Our Story

Wakefield House

We started our journey at the end of 2023, when we decided to buy this old run-down former hotel/guest house.

Okay, when we say run-down and former, it’s last use was as a cannabis grow….that’s right, a weed factory! A weed factory in the heart of central Blackpool!

Anyway, without a sense of smell (Covid?) we decided to embark on a massive refurbishment of the building. Sort of a mix between "Homes Under the Hammer" and "Grand Designs"? Hmmm, anyway, we think we've done okay.

So, what did we actually do?

Essentially a new roof across the entire building. Over 25 new windows replaced/installed. Gutting and internal re-configuration across all 3 floors. Oh, and we made a new front door! 

The new apartments are personally named, from top to bottom: The Patricia Suite (after my late mother), The Elise Suite (after my daughter) and the Joshua Suite (after my son).

The living/dining/kitchen areas of each suite have been designed to individually deliver a different visual experience. But all with the same good modern spec.

We have a saying which goes back over 20 years, “the last piece of work I do, should be the best piece of work I’ve ever done.”

We hope you enjoy staying here, as much as we enjoyed giving what was a tired old building a new lease of life.
