Restored to Former Glory
Records relating to this historic property have been traced to 1597. The building now has a grade II conservation listing and has been health-checked, restored and renovated -the Listed Buildings Authority has ensured continuity between existing and reinstated features. All structural work that was undertaken is guaranteed by experienced structural engineers.
Original features of the property have been reinstated or restored after thorough research that was quality assured by the Listed Buildings Authority. This includes the solid brassware , the oak beams, the original hardwood handrails , ceiling roses, cornices, and stained glass . All the glass was stripped out, cleaned and reinserted with gaps made good in the original colours and style. The window shutters were taken down, cleaned, and then re-hung with solid brassware. The roof has been reinstated according to the Authority's guidelines -the tiles were re-laid in two sections and types, clay tiles and pantiles . All the chimney stacks and fireplaces have been renovated and reinstated. The flagstone floors have been cleaned and in some places re-laid. Heritage colours -cream, light and dark cream - and heritage materials have been used on the exterior of the house. The lime wash was bespoke, made from lime and ochre, hand-mixed, left to mature, re-mixed and then applied by hand. The lime render was also bespoke, and applied by hand, as was the lime putty. This building has had new life breathed into it and is ready to live another 500 years.
