The Detailed Case Study
Thurloxton Manor
Heritage & Listed Buildings · Thurloxton, Somerset
A sensitive conversion & additional-storey extension of a Grade II listed stable block, with underpinning, bespoke sash windows handmade in our workshop & painstakingly sourced materials to flow seamlessly into the original manor.
With the rise of multi-generation living & AirBNB, we've done our fair share of conversions. If you have an existing outbuilding that could be made into annex accommodation – either to make a side income or for future-proofing – we can help transform this into a self-contained home.
We were delighted to be asked back by existing clients of the bespoke Summer House project to undertake work on a stable block adjacent to the main house, including building an extension to provide additional space.
In order to achieve the additional storey, we had to underpin the entire end of the existing property to provide the needed support. It was important to remain in keeping with the original character of this Grade II listed property & flow seamlessly through, so you had no idea where the old ends & the new begins. We painstakingly sourced materials to allow for this.
The bespoke wooden sash windows were made in our workshop to match the rest of the building & allowing for its listed status. We also completed the landscaping, creating the perfect place for our clients to enjoy al-fresco dining or simply soaking up the sunshine.
By extending, this added an additional living area, study (complete with built-in shelving completed by us) & upstairs a master bedroom with ensuite. We received a wonderful review from our happy clients & were thrilled to hear how happy they were with our work & their finished home.
