Handover news: Beautiful Victorian conversion in the heart of Cambridgeshire to be taken on by Block Management UK Ltd


Block Management UK Ltd is delighted to announce our latest instruction. The Limes is a lovely, well-maintained development of over 30 units located near the village of Hemingford Grey, in the heart of Cambridgeshire. The development was formerly known as the St Ives Union workhouse, built in 1838.

In 2018, the workhouse featured in an episode of the BBC TV series Who Do You Think You Are?.  Paralympic athlete and Strictly Come Dancing star Jonnie Peacock, discovered that his 4x great grandmother, Louisa Voss, and her three children had spent several months in the institution in 1853-4.  

The development consists of 19 flats and 14 houses sitting within communal grounds with garages on site. The site joins our growing portfolio of Cambridgeshire properties that we manage on behalf of RMCs, landlords and property developers and is served by our regional hub in Cambourne. We are looking forward to making this property an efficient and cost-effective instruction on behalf of the RMC.
