A WELL-known North Yorkshire country hotel is being converted into apartments in a multi-million pound scheme backed by Yorkshire Bank.

The former Linton Springs Hotel, Sicklinghall, near Wetherby, originally a Georgian country house, is being redeveloped into apartments in a £6 million scheme supported in the biggest property deal funded by Yorkshire Bank's Harrogate Financial Solutions Centre (FSC) since it was created two years ago.

Husband-and-wife property company, Harrogate-based Palmer Developments (North) Ltd, is re-developing the 20,000 sq ft former hotel, which it acquired a year ago, into 14 two-and-three bedroom apartments due to be completed this summer.

Palmer Developments (North) Ltd was founded ten years ago by Bernard and Jude Palmer and specialises in the sensitive regeneration of character properties for residential use.

Bernard Palmer is a facial surgeon based at Harrogate District Hospital and Jude is a former media consultant specialising in advising TV producers on their intellectual property rights. Linton Springs Hotel, which closed down two years ago, was a popular wedding and conference venue, because of its 14-acre grounds and rural location between Harrogate, Leeds and Wetherby. The hotel also built a large following for its highly-rated Gun Room Restaurant.
