Friendly Society HQ to become apartments

THE former head office of the Shepherds Friendly Society in Cheadle, South Manchester, has been acquired by Bradley Edge Developments for residential conversion under Permitted Development Rights.

Shepherds House on Stockport Road is believed to be in an ideal residential location in the heart of Cheadle Village.

Architect, View Associates, has been appointed to draw up plans to convert the 12,000sq ft three storey building into 17 luxury one and two bedroom apartments.

It is anticipated that work will start soon with completion in late summer with the apartments being offered for sale from £125,000.

The Shepherds Friendly Society has relocated to more suitable offices at Haw Bank House, Cheadle.

Commercial agent TFC acted for the purchasers and Matthews and Goodman for the vendor.
