The project has achieved full planning permission and EnerPHit pre-certification – making it the largest EnerPHit private home in the country.

Our client is dedicated to a sustainable project while preserving the historic charm of the manor house. The refurbishment works and new extensions have been carefully detailed and use innovative techniques required to obtain EnerPHit and Passivhaus design standards.

The use of locally sourced materials, such as natural stone and roof slates, will ensure the design is in keeping with the original building. Frameless glazing is strategically placed to fill the house with natural light while offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside.
