ALWALTON Hall – the former home of Perkins Engines founder Frank Perkins – will be transforme­d into one of the area’s leading beauty and wellness sanctuarie­s.

The magnificen­t Georgian country house in Alwalton village, will offer a wide range of beauty and wellness treatments.

Set in five acres of landscaped grounds and formal gardens the property will be re-configured to pro- vide a range of consultati­on and treatment rooms, relaxation areas and lounges for clients.

There is ample space for private parking in the Hall grounds.

Alwalton Hall will be staffed by seven full time therapists who will deliver a range of treatments including facials, waxing, pedicures, manicures, massage and specialist skin treatments. The new facility is expected to open next spring.

The hall is owned by Brian and Maggie Jones, who have both enjoyed successful careers in the corporate business world.

“We are very excited about this project. We want the hall to be a place of relaxation, rejuvenati­on, wellness and beauty where every visitor has a memorable experience from the moment they arrive to the moment they leave,” said Maggie.

“Our dedicated team will be on hand to ensure that guests receive the very highest standards of treatment and leave feeling relaxed and rejuvenate­d.”

Work on adapting the building is underway and Alwalton Hall manager Jess Dovaston will be starting the recruitmen­t process very soon.
