The sensitive transformation of a Grade II listed Jacobean Revival estate and country house in Bath’s World Heritage Site.
Our team of heritage experts, planning consultants and architects was involved from the outset. Together with the wider team, we worked across the main house, lodge and coach house to update the estate for modern family life while keeping its historic character and unique feel. The project included internal alternations, restoring the landscape, improving sustainability, upgrading performance and introducing carefully designed new buildings that sit comfortably within the conservation area setting.
These photos show off the beautiful joinery by @titchmarshandgoodwin - we really enjoyed working with Jamie and his team.
A great example of heritage, design, sustainability and teamwork.

We took this thermal image at one of our Grade II-listed projects to show the dramatic difference in heat loss between historic single pane glazing (on the upper floors) and the newly installed vacuum glass (in the two windows on the ground floor). The brighter the yellow and orange, the hotter the temperature (ie. more heat loss). The right-hand chimney pot serves the ground floor fireplace and it glows slightly hotter here due to heat rising up the flue – proof enough to use flue balloons when the fire is not in use.
As well as providing thermal insulation and sharply reducing heat loss in winter, vacuum glazing also limits summer heat gain and helps prevent overheating. It also does a good job of keeping the sound out.
Since vacuum glass can be thinner than traditional double glazing, it’s a good candidate for retrofit projects at historic properties like this one.

Extensive repair work is now complete at the belvedere of this tower, which sits above a Grade II* listed Greek Revival Regency period villa in Bath.
Designed by architect Henry Goodridge, the villa was extended at least three times in the Victorian period, with the belvedere added last to house water tanks and provide a landmark feature after his trip to Italy.
The building is prominent within the Conservation Character Area setting and its careful repair was crucial. Our heritage experts were involved in defining and securing permission for the work needed to conserve its future.
Working alongside a team of local craftspeople we replaced damaged leadwork, the timber roof structure, dismantled three courses of stone and replaced fractured corbel brackets, cut out damaged stonework, installed new keystone sections and pinned others. The project also included repointing the stonework with lime mortars after replacing laminating dog cramps with stainless steel.
As our recent photo shows, the work has put right extensive damage to the stonework to make the belvedere worthy of its place in the panorama.
