We have been involved with this scheme to demolish an old garage and create a new double garage, workshop and a one bedroom flat above. We introduced the client to the architect and constructed a superb building, using Cotswold walling stone and reclaimed stone roof tiles. We used Bath stone quoins and mullions. All windows and joinery were in Oak.
This high-class building blends in well, situated in the historic village of Lacock on one of the few privately owned properties not far from the Abbey. A class Q conversion of a steel framed agricultural cattle shed near Clyffe Pypard to a Grand Design type house for a prominent local family. This project was very different to the norm and was a learning curve with many exciting challenges. It is highly insulated with many renewables including ground source heating.
Brackstone Builders based near Devizes were commended to construct a one-off luxury house and double garage in the small village of Conock. We demolished the old dwelling in the garden which the new house was complete.
The walls are handmade Mickelmersh Bricks laid in Flemish Bond which is quite unusual. We returned to take final photos a year on when everything had toned down and the clients has completed planting. Brackstones have been working in and around the Cotswold village of Biddestone for almost 30 years – almost exclusively as a result of word of mouth recommendations.
This particular project involved a careful and sympathetic approach to save the remainder of the building and then to enhance it and create useable accommodation at first floor level with garaging and a games room at ground floor level. The building is constructed of concrete block rendered in stone dust with Ashlar quoins. This style of construction was acceptable to the Planners as it was adjacent to a listed building and, at the same time, enabled us to keep this element of the project within a tight budget for the owners. We take a huge amount of pride in our work and this was a particularly satisfying scheme for the team on site as, by completion, they had created something pretty special. |
