New lease of life for Newtown building
An extension and renovation of one of the oldest buildings in a Mid Wales town will help attract tourism and business opportunities according to the owners.
Parkers House in Shortbridge Street, Newtown, has undergone a substantial investment to transform it into an eight bedroom bed and breakfast.
The upper floors have been transformed to the bedrooms, and an existing cafe on the ground floor has been refurbished by owners Tina and Mike Lovatt.
The building design work was undertaken by Hughes Architects, who helped bring back some of the building’s original features as part of the scheme. All building work, fixtures, fittings and furniture have been sourced through local tradespeople and businesses.
