Since completing the 47 luxury one- and two-bedroom apartments ranging from 450 to 765 square feet, Clowes have successfully sold or let number of units. However, it was the response to the original show apartments that truly stood out, highlighting just how transformative a professionally styled interior can be.

The first show apartments were designed by Blocc Interiors, a leading specialist in residential show home design. Tasked with demonstrating intelligent space-saving ideas and the benefits of apartment living, the Blocc team delivered two inspirational interiors that resonated immediately with buyers. Both apartments sold almost instantly, prompting Clowes to restyle several additional units to keep pace with demand.

Buyers have been particularly drawn to the sense of modern, efficient living and the clever use of space demonstrated in the show homes. To make moving in even easier, furniture packages, including accessories as seen in the show apartments, are available for purchase directly through Blocc Interiors, offering a streamlined and hassle-free move-in experience. This option has proven especially popular with first-time buyers, second-home purchasers, and holiday homeowners seeking a one-stop solution to furnish their new apartment.

In addition, Clowes have partnered with Albert Henry Interiors to further elevate the interior offering. Their bespoke wardrobes have been installed in the show apartments, showcasing the company’s craftsmanship and limitless design possibilities. Residents can choose from a range of colours, door styles, and internal fittings, as well as a selection of standard and bespoke furniture options, creating the opportunity for a truly personalised home at an additional cost when purchasing an apartment.

A limited selection of brand-new apartments at Riber View are now available to view by appointment with Boxall Brown & Jones. To arrange a private viewing, please contact Jo Hutchinson at the Belper office on 01773 880788 or via j.hutchinson@boxallbrownandjones.co.uk

“At Riber View, our design approach combines aesthetics with functionality to maximize the potential of apartment living. We used a nature-inspired colour palette to create a calming atmosphere, paired with natural materials to give an organic feel. Clever storage solutions help maintain a sense of openness, turning the space into a welcoming home. With breathtaking views of Matlock and Riber Castle, we dressed the windows with sheer curtains, inviting the scenery indoors, creating a space that potential buyers can truly envision themselves living in.”

Marc Freeman, Director, Clowes Developments commented,

We are incredibly proud of the quality and design principles we have applied to Riber View Apartments. This is truly a unique residential development at the heart of the iconic Derbyshire town of Matlock. I would like to personally thank Mark Weston, the project manager at Roe Developments, Peak Architects, our legal team at Gateley’s and especially our in-house team at Clowes for delivering this scheme to such a high standard. We would also like to take the time to thank Matlock Town FC for their support and patience during construction.”

The luxury residential scheme benefits from secure key fob access, which leads directly into a high-end, fully furnished reception and postal area. Included with all apartments also boast off road parking with a convenient, undercover secure car park, bicycle storage, and electric vehicle charging points. There are also two lifts, providing easy access to the upper floors. A management company is providing a fully serviced building and landscaped grounds. Clowes also opted to install solar panels to the roof -providing sustainable energy for the common areas of the buildings. The facility offers a comparably low service charge and has been awarded an EPC rating of B, making the cost of living in these premium apartments more affordable than other local residential schemes.

The apartments were designed by Peak Architects to transform the former run-down site into a residential development that retains and enhances the vitality of Matlock town centre. Peak Architects’ focus has been to create a scheme that acknowledges and refers to the town’s architecture and local context using locally sourced stone on the Causeway Lane elevation.

The post Clowes Developments announce the practical completion of 47 luxury apartments with retail space at Riber View, Matlock appeared first on Riber View.

Developed on behalf of landowner and developer, Clowes Developments (North West) Ltd, and in discussion with the Derbyshire Dales Planning Authority, Peak Architects’ mixed-use scheme will transform the site into 47 high quality one and two bed dwellings and ground floor retail units, including the refurbishment and conversion of an existing adjacent unit into two apartments. A number of the properties will also benefit from outside space, via terraces or gardens with additional access to a new landscaped central courtyard, private parking, bike storage and amenity space.

The proposed development, which faces Causeway Lane, has been designed to retain and enhance the vitality and viability of Matlock town centre. From the outset, Peak Architects focus has been to create a scheme that acknowledges and makes reference to the town’s architecture and its local context. Great emphasis is placed on creating a contemporary structure with a simple palette that stands confidently with a strong sense of heritage quality.
The façades are a modern interpretation of the stone fronted buildings that align the high street and will be constructed of a durable, natural stone with standing seam cladding at roof level. The rear block will be clad using a complementary stone coloured brick, seamlessly tying the two buildings together. Detailed consideration was given to maximise the views across neighbouring Hall Leys Park and the Riber Castle landscape.

Peak Architects’ Paul Holden, states:
We’re delighted to be supporting Clowes Developments and that planning has been secured on this scheme. It respects and enhances the character and of this historic area through sensitive design and appropriate materials, whilst acknowledging its adjacency to the Matlock Bridge Conservation Area, given our expertise in heritage and conservation architecture.

Peak Architects’ proposals, designed and submitted on behalf of Clowes Developments (North West) Ltd, have recently received planning consent from Derbyshire Dales District Council.

Marc Freeman, Director of Clowes Developments (North West Ltd) adds:
We are delighted to have received planning consent for the development of residential and commercial use at the former Matlock Ford site. The development will be compatible with neighbouring land uses, lead to biodiversity enhancement, be flood resilient and incorporate measures within the apartments and communal areas to mitigate the effects of and adapt to climate change. We look forward to developing a high quality scheme with a local stone façade to complement the traditional street scape along Causeway.
