It is always nice to have a project you can walk to from the office, in this case a scheme for eleven new homes to enable the restoration of a set of Grade II Listed buildings within a Conservation Area as five apartments.

After careful negotiation and working collaboratively with the Local Planning Authority, to overcome planning and conservation officers initial concerns, over a period of sixteen months, we were granted consent by the Planning Committee for a scheme which takes on board and addresses any concerns officers had, provides much needed new housing and secures the future of at risk heritage buildings.

Not all the conservation projects we work on are listed buildings. Some are on properties like this 1930s thatched country house in North Hampshire.

We are pleased to have recently been granted planning permission for a scheme working on this charming thatched building, taking full advantage of the stunning views from the elevated site.

Along with works to the main house, the scheme also includes a swimming pool with terrace and pool house/outdoor dining room, greenhouse and new entrance sequence.

We’re pleased to have recently gained Listed Building Consent for a scheme of repair and maintenance for this Grade II* Listed Queen Anne gentleman’s residence in the North Wessex Downs. Featured in Country Life Magazine, the building dates back to the early 1700s and we are looking forward to things progressing with this interesting project.

We have a passion for old buildings and are lucky enough to work on lots of interesting pieces of historic architecture. We always base our schemes on thorough historic research, such as this report recently completed by our very own Gemma Kingsbury on the former Harris Bacon Factory Social Club in Calne.

We also like to share our knowledge, so we've lodged a copy of the three volumes we produced at the Calne Heritage Centre for future reference by all.
