Large Listed House near Colchester
By 2008 this 500 year old house was ready for a new permutation to suit a new generation.
The historic fabric had various problems from structural movement to general decay, lack of insulation and ancient heating and electrical services.
The house also lacked modern bathroom and kitchen facilities.
To raise the building to our client's expectation it was necessary to enter into detailed consultations with the planning authority in order to get permission for a substantial
extension as well as to agree the specification for sensitive historic buildings repairs and
alterations. During the course of the project we were also instrumental in formatting a successful claim to the building insurers for financial assistance with repairs to subsidence damage.
Our practice was able to offer a complete set of skills required for this project including the role of AABC accredited architect, NHER energy assessor and interior designer.
