Each of the buildings is configured to make best use of the panoramic views offered by the elevated position of the site overlooking Halifax town centre. The buildings will be constructed of natural stone and the apartments specified to a quality standard, comprising two bedroomed living accommodation with en suite and open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen.
