Redeveloped town centre building to house apartments

Progress is being made on a prominent building opposite Dewsbury Railway Station to turn it into homes aimed at local first-time buyers.  

Field House is being revitalised and rebranded as Station Apartments by locally based Mood Developments, with an expected completion date of August 2025.   

The grand Grade II listed Victorian property will be a mix of 23 one, two, and three-bedroom properties. 

Seven have already been sold, along with the two retail units on the ground floor. Details on the occupiers of the shop units will be released in the coming weeks.  

This development is part of long-term improvements to Dewsbury town centre, which will see a new market, reopening of the town’s Victorian era arcade and a new town park area near the town hall. The total investment in the town is over £80m

Station Apartments will not be available for buy to let landlords and are specifically designed for first time buyers.

Peter Mason, from Mood Developments, said: “Station Apartments is in an ideal location and will benefit from superfast broadband, as well as everything that Dewsbury has to offer. 

“We feel it is important to offer these luxury new apartments to first time buyers specifically so local people can get on the housing ladder. 

“There has been tremendous interest in the apartments already which has been very encouraging.

“The regeneration of the building will give this fantastic property a new sustainable future and restore it to its former glory.”
