Enrok Construction has been appointed as principal contractor on a £2 million scheme to transform former Nottingham mill into flats.

The Derbyshire construction company has won the contract to work on Station House, in Nottingham’s Crocus Street, which is set be turned into 1-and-2 bed apartments. Work is underway and should be completed by next Summer.

The 19th century mill building and factory is spread over three floors and is close to Nottingham’s Lace Market and train station, within a designated conservation area.

Planning permission has already been gained for the property to change from its current use as a church into 22 one-bed and five two-bed apartments.

Enrok Construction director Jordan Mallisch said: “We are really excited to be working on this former mill on Crocus Street with an existing client. We initially discussed it two years ago and now we are finally able to get started on the refurbishment.

“We’ll be replacing the windows, in keeping with their existing style, retaining features such as columns and braces and we’ll be taking some elements back to brick. When complete it will bring much needed high quality, residential accommodation to Nottingham city centre for both sale and rent.”

Dean Johnston –who is from a bricklaying background and has more than 30 years’ experience in the construction industry – has joined the Enrok team as site manager for the project. The company said he has a particular interest and passion for restoration and refurbishment.
