GRAS collaborated with the owners of Springkell to sensitively upgrade and convert this Category A listed house into a distinctive wedding venue with guest accommodation. The project aimed to secure a sustainable use for the building, providing a steady income stream to support its long-term care.
A discreet intervention was carried out to address a dry rot outbreak threatening the structure, carefully protecting the building’s exquisite plasterwork ceilings and panelling. Further phases are planned to reinstate the currently unused service wing and basement, with works scheduled to commence as funding becomes available.
