Project Description:

Hobbswell House has undergone many alterations over the years, with the loss of much historic fabric, yet still retaining a good degree of character and an impressive street facing facade. The house was built in 1823 by surgeon John Lawrence and had various different uses over the years. 

The Phase I proposals included the construction of a new double garage and workshop; replacement windows with hardwood double glazed replicas throughout; re-roofing the side hall and entrance alterations. Phase II works include a large Kitchen orangery style extension and conversion works to the Music room. 

​

Planning Approval and Listed Building Consent was achieved in 2023. Our detailed assessment of the historic development and fabric of Hobbswell House confirmed its historical origins and identified where the significance was most concentrated, thus allowing justification for the proposed development.

​

The project is now in the Phase II build stage for completion in 2026.
