Former Home Of The Royal Oak Public House - Royal Oak Apartments Poulton
The site has been vacant for several years and in need of development. It formerly housed Royal Oak and its associated car park. The Royal Oak was a former public house/hotel that was built in the early 1840s at the time of Poulton's first railway station on the opposite side of Station Road and has historically been used for various functions such as inquests and sales of livestock from local farms.
Now the site is cleared form the former Royal Oak public house the site has become a prime opportunity to significantly improve the design providing a high-quality building, enhance the area and provide another landmark building for Poulton-le-Fylde conservation area along with Breck Point Townhouses on the same road recently designed by Carters, full planning approved, progressing well on-site and compelted 2023
It is proposed to commence construction work on the three-story luxurious properties, known as the Royal Oak Apartments Poulton at the beginning of March.
Carters Architectural services are behind the contemporary project and have built up a reputation for high-spec modern designs with the internal layouts being influenced by city centre design which has high-end finishes.
Phil Slater, local businessman, and Harry Carter Director, of Carters Building Consultancy, started the journey three years ago in 2018, on behalf of the new owner to establish the development's potential and agree on a purchase of the site which took over 12 months to complete.
After long negotiations, with Phil Slater being the main driver for this development, the site was subsequently purchased by Amex Estates in August 2019.
Due to the complexities of the site, characteristics, and challenges of the development proposed with COVID disruptions we are really pleased to announce construction will start on site in March 2021.
