We all find incredible meaning and value in buildings. They are not just property and they are more than just a place to live – they can be an historic landmark, a piece of history, and a part of our urban landscape. They lend a town its personality and a community its character. Heaton Group exists to strengthen that meaning and protect that value.We bring plenty of commercial savvy to every development project, but we’re in the business of regenerating older buildings and, in the process, reinvigorating some of our region’s communities. We’re custodians of heritage and character, preserving the best of local icons while providing the kind of urbane habitats that are made for lifestyle living.It’s a service we’ve been providing for generations – there’s nothing short-term about what we do. With that experience comes an approach that simply works: we make a connection with our communities, we build trust with our customers, and we deliver quality you can rely on. The result, whether it’s a home to buy, a place to rent, or an investment to make, is a sustainable development, a community asset and a stylish home.www.heatongroup.co.uk www.facebook.com/theheatongroup@theheatongroupContact us now: 01942 251 945
