The
new convent was built in the front garden of the existing, and the Sisters
moved across prior to demolition. The brief was for the building to be designed
as two pairs of semi-detached houses with a single storey link. This was
in response to to a reduction in the number of Sisters, and with a view
to partial sale of parts of the property if the numbers continue to decline.
There are 12 bedrooms at first floor level (4 en-suite), with a guest bedroom/sickroom
at ground floor level, together with all the usual communal rooms. The site
has been extensively landscaped with a secure garden to the rear allowing
privacy and security for the sisters. The project was completed in October
2001. |
