The Clients wished to restore and convert this 15th Century Grade II listed building. Sadly the site was uninhabited and semi-derelict. In order to give it a viable future, the building was conserved, repaired and used as part of two dwelling houses.
All repair work was carried out in an appropriate and sympathetic manner to match the existing style. We were able to design a large glazed area to the rear court yard and the interior was done in a contemporary style. This revealed the existing timber frame of the building.
