Sydserf House
GRAS_Sydserf

This new housing development received planning permission and listed building consent as part of an enabling strategy to support the restoration and reconstruction of the seventeenth-century Sydserf House in East Lothian. The scheme features a new ‘steading’ complex inspired by the original nineteenth-century farmstead on the site.

Comprising five new dwellings arranged around courtyards and gardens, the development responds sensitively to the historic setting while providing contemporary homes. The design carefully balances heritage considerations with modern living requirements, ensuring the ongoing preservation of Sydserf House by securing its wider estate’s viability.
