Due to our extensive experience in working on listed buildings, we are often asked to refurbish or carry out alterations to such properties. We are proud to be able to use our own, directly employed craftsmen for this skilled work. Projects such as these often require close liaison with conservation officers and other representatives of listed building or building control departments. Attention to detail has resulted in some wonderful finished products!

Project A

This historic manor house has always been an important heart of the village in which it is located. Its owners required complete internal refurbishment and redecoration in an adventurous style, combining tasteful contemporary colours and furnishings with very traditionally built rooms. In addition, loft spaces were converted to create additional bedroom and bathroom accommodation.

Project B

A major part of the refurbishment of this former village vicarage was the re-roofing of the property. A new oak-framed front entrance porch was created featuring new sawn York stone steps and paving. New purpose-made joinery (windows and doors) was installed and inside a new kitchen and new bathrooms put in.

Project C

This interesting project involved not only the partial demolition and reconstruction of the existing house but also the construction of an entirely new, natural stone cottage at the back of the property. Unusually, the design of the cottage incorporated a basement to serve as a wine cellar and storage area.

A Grade II listed building standing in grounds of 7 acres with its own walled garden, entrance lodge and cottages, etc.  The building was fully refurbished to a very high standard, including all mechanical and electrical services and a new wing extension in natural stone to incorporate a large kitchen family room, laundry and boot room.  The building was fully re-roofed and a huge amount of delicate structural works were carried out within the existing building.  Works were carried out in conjunction with an interior designer and the whole job was refurbished to a very high standard.  Subsequently the Greenhouse has been refurbished in the walled garden that is within the listed curtilage of the main house and also a cottage within the grounds has been fully refurbished, again within the listed curtilage of the main house.  This was a very successful project, completed over a period of approximately 42 weeks on site.
