Blencathra Residential Centre

The project

The site was purchased in 2013 by the FSC and substantial improvement has been made to the building infrastructure as part of the renewable energy project, including a comprehensive district heating system, door and window retrofit and insulation. These unique buildings provide field courses for schools and universities at all levels as well as courses for individuals and families. It is primarily a residential Centre with increasing numbers of day visitors partly as a result of a close working relationship with the YHA.

Bell Group delivered full internal refurbishment of existing residential building including remodelling of bedrooms to maximise space, formation of en-suite bathrooms, design and installation of commercial kitchen, upgrade toilets, lounges, full rewire of property to fit with the renewable energy requirements, upgrade of plumbing installation and fire alarm system, new flooring, full internal decoration.
