We regularly get involved in listed building projects, or buildings within conservation areas that have restricted development rights.
These projects can be very challenging for our clients, as an understanding of statutory permissions is difficult to grasp for those not involved in the industry. The rewards however can be breathtaking!
Eglwys Cross Cottage is a Grade II listed property which dates from the 17th century, and our modern, contemporary extension allows the three distinct building phases to blend into each other but retain the unique language of each periods design. The extension, purposefully playing on rural simplicity with its material palette and aperture designs provides relief to the more intrinsic details offered in the 17th century timber frame with its wattle and daub or the Victorian part with its brick detailing. The house retains a wealth of character features, including exposed timber framing inside and out.
