Rebuilt to last

摘要

'You will never get permission to do this' was the conservation officer's initial response when we presented our outline proposals to refurbish, restructure and expand Home Farm in 2006. Unfortunately, this is typical of projects in conservation settings: it is only through perseverance, the client's determination (and in this case, nine planning and listed building applications) that such interventions are ever realised. Home Farm is a Grade-II listed house located in the Cotswolds outside Cheltenham. It forms part of a picturesque grouping of listed buildings which include a tithe barn, a neighbouring church (Grade I) and the eight-gabled house.
