We were appointed by the purchasers of a Grade I listed, John Palmer designed Georgian house located in the midst of one of Bath’s most prestigious terraces with exceptionally fine views of the city centre. Our brief was to re-order the interior and the rear garden. Our clients wished to relocate the kitchen from the basement storey, install new bathrooms to the upper storeys and create a home office.
The house had previously been in multiple occupation and we were able to show from historic plans and photographs of the property that the kitchens and bathrooms had been relocated and/or altered a number of times over the intervening years. The property had received at least two stages of major alteration in the twentieth century.
Via a process of negotiation at the pre-application stages and cross referencing historic documents and heritage guidance, we were able to obtain planning and listed building consents. The works returned the garden to full use for the first time since the post-war period.
