Steppingstone on site in Woolton

CHESHIRE developer Steppingstone Group is building 10 homes in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton.

The scheme in Quarry Street has been designed by Liverpool architect Falconer Chester Hall.

A second phase will involve converting the former Village Inn pub into a five-bed house.

Steve O’Connor, director of Helsby-based Steppingstone, said: “The focus has been on the best use of design to create maximum light and living space and this is the reason we decided to bring in an independent architect. We wanted total design control and to be involved in a fantastic redevelopment project.”

Mark Doohan, director of Falconer Chester Hall, said: “There is a limited amount of choice within the housing market as far as new homes are concerned and it was important for us to develop for Steppingstone new and unique housing that was high quality design and specification yet still affordable.”
