This was an interesting project. Situated on Main Street in the former mining village of Swannington, The Fountain was originally constructed as a house for a colliery manager before operating for over 100 years as a public house. This used ceased in December 2013 and in May 2014, we gained planning approval for its conversion to residential use, along with the erection of 3 new detached dwellings. Design clues for the new build units were taken from the retained public house, resulting in an attractive and successful development which enhances the street scene and contributes to the surrounding area.
