Never a dull moment at Cumberland, this autumn, and throughout the winter, will see the continued development through to completion of our Woodland Regency site.
Due to local legislation that is defined by the council and designed to protect tourism, there are restrictions placed on builders and developers; limiting the scope of works that may be carried out during the “high season”, in order to preserve the peace and tranquillity normally associated with the Bodrum peninsula.
Consequently, this is our busiest period of the year on the construction side of our operation and every minute counts.
By the time you arrive for your well-earned break or holiday every trace of our busy winter schedule will have been removed. The paint will be dry, the lawns watered and the sun loungers set-out around the poolside just waiting for you to recline, relax, rejuvenate and enjoy a long, cool refreshing drink in the beautifully secluded surroundings of the olive and pine tree forest in which our exceptional Woodland Regency development is set.
But right now things are moving apace and we’d like to take you on a quick tour of exactly what we’re up to here at Woodland Regency.
No one wants to holiday under a cluster of electric cables strung from unsightly pylons do they? So they just had to go. You will see from the photos that the original pylons have been replaced for a more aesthetically pleasing variety - if such a thing is possible when it comes to electric pylons - and the old cables replaced for the new armoured type and rerouted around the perimeter of the site. Consequently, Woodland Regency is now cable free both above and below ground. This has the dual benefit of both improving safety and improving the aesthetics in order not to detract from the natural beauty of the locale.
Our old warehouse has been dismantled and donated to Konacik council. We understand that a portion of it will be used for storage, however - more interestingly – and more in keeping with Cumberland Properties philosophy – the majority of it will be re-erected, refurbished and reused to provide an adult education centre that will be run by, and for, the local community. It is planned that a considerable number of socially orientated courses will be made available to the surrounding populous. Cumberland Properties would like to wish all those involved the very best in all their endeavours.
The area created by the clearance of our old warehouse will allow work to progress on the footings and necessary groundwork for 3 further C-type units. Each finely crafted and exquisitely finished apartment will comprise of 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and feature an open-plan ground floor that combines the kitchen / breakfast bar with the dining and living space to create a wonderfully fresh ambiance. Each of these will occupy a 1,141 sq ft plot, to include terraces, and will have a floor area of 670 sq ft set out over 2 floors.
Whilst we’ve had trucks and JCB’s roaming around the site this has provided an opportune moment for work to continue on the provision and extension of drainage to the new and existing units respectively.
We have also taken delivery of a considerable amount of topsoil, ready for Cumberland Landscaping & Design to get to work with, in addition to that already available on site.
On the lighter side of things, relatively speaking, work continues with the installation of staircases, balustrades and aluminium windows and doors to the existing units.
All finished off with a lick of paint to keep the site presentable whilst our work continues.
