This project involved the careful transformation of a listed country house, parts of which date back to the seventeenth century, with significant nineteenth-century additions. Previously operated as a hotel, the property was converted back into a private family home through a comprehensive refurbishment of the main house. Extensive stripping out was required to remove unsympathetic alterations, arrest ongoing decay and rot, and introduce modern building services. These interventions combined to create a comfortable, functional home while respecting the historic fabric.

The project also included sensitive adaptation of the nineteenth-century stable block, which was altered and restored to provide staff accommodation and a flexible party room. Additional conservation work was carried out on ancillary buildings, including the nineteenth-century Lodge House, which was extended with a new timber-framed addition. Repairs and restoration were also completed on the historic doocot, apple house, and greenhouse, securing their long-term preservation and enhancing the estate’s architectural ensemble.

Together, these works demonstrate a holistic approach to conservation and adaptation, balancing heritage values with the demands of contemporary living.
