Kilwardby House
The restoration and conversion of Kilwardby House demonstrates how underused heritage buildings can be successfully brought back into active use. Through careful design, Listed Building Consent and close collaboration with conservation officers, this Grade II listed building has been transformed into seven high-quality homes whilst preserving its historic character for future generations.
Old Wesleyan Chapel, Main Street
This Grade II listed chapel in Swannington has undergone a remarkable second life conversion, 25 years after its first transformation by David Granger Architectural Design Ltd. Having served both as a residence and office space, it returned to residential use in 2023 under the care of self-builders Laurence and Karen. Their passion for the building’s heritage, combined with sensitive design and craftsmanship, has created a stunning modern home that respects the chapel’s historic character while bringing renewed vitality to a prominent village landmark.
Winfrey Farm
Winfrey Farm is a farm complex on the southern side of Dadlington Lane, west of Stapleton’s rural hamlet.
Barn Conversion in Edingale
Woodside Barn is situated in Edingale, Tamworth and previously had an agricultural usage. It was purchased by budding self-builders Alan and Karen in 2018, with the view of turning it into their dream home.
The Fallen Knight
Kilwardby Street, Ashby de la Zouch
With the construction works starting in earnest in early 2020, the Fallen Knight (or Knight’s Mews, as it is now known) has undergone a complete transformation. From its dilapidated and unloved state, it is now an impressive and well-finished development of new residential accommodation within throwing distance of the busy town centre.
Bond Gate
Castle Donington
Building a new dwelling adjacent to the owners current home, dealing with multiple constraints to fit in with the surroundings a busy highway network.
The Old Cottage Hospital
Ashby de la Zouch
There was a public outcry in 2014 when Ashby’s historic Old Cottage Hospital was closed, after over a century of service to the community.
Now, five years later, this much-loved landmark has been restored and revived in the form of a 21st-century business centre.
Steel Frame Barn Conversion
Thornton, Leicestershire
This unassuming steel-framed barn, situated behind an existing home, was being used as a manufacturing workshop. We converted it into a light and very spacious four-bedroom home with open plan kitchen/dining, along with solar panels and an air source heat pump (ASHP), boosting its green credentials.
Mixed-Use Development in a Conservation Area
Breedon on the Hill
Pear Tree Mews is a mixed-use development on a brownfield site in the heart of Breedon on the Hill, set in the village conservation area on the grounds of a listed building.
Luxury Barn Conversions
Fritchley, Derbyshire
Although located in an attractive setting, this range of barns was in relatively poor condition. We were asked to give them a new lease of life by converting them into four luxury dwellings.
