Proposed Development

This proposal outlines the refurbishment of the original stables building into two residential properties. The goal is to preserve the stables' architectural heritage while transforming it into a modern living space. With a focus on sustainability we are looking to provide low-carbon living in a rural setting with minimal changes to the exterior of the building and no addition to the building's footprint. This project involves converting the stables from a yoga and art space to a residential property occupying the exact same floor area. There will be no demolitions or extensions to the building adn therefore no chareacter, externally. We plan to retain the stable's charm while introducing contemporary elements. The layout will emphasise open spaces and natural light, creating an inviting ambiance for residents with new kitchens, refurbished bathrooms and warm, comfortable living spaces. Key elements of the refurbishment are: Preservation: original stonework to external walls to be pointed with lime mortar. All new doors/windows in timber. Spatial Reconfiguration: The ground floors will feature an open-plan living area, blending the kitchen, dining, and lounge spaces. The upper floors will have private bedrooms and bathrooms. A new staircase has been added and an escape door accompanies this. The stairwell has been compartmentalised. New windows to new bedroom shave been added, where required. Sustainability: Environmentally friendly features like energy-efficient windows, wall insulation to miniminse heating and to prevent damp, Regulatory Compliance: We will adhere to all building and fire regulations, Fire Officer has viewd the plans and has no issue in principle. The buildings are not listed however we are not looking to extend or modify the form of the function. Timeline: We aim to complete the refurbishment within 12 months, ensuring high quality from local contractors. Benefits to the Community: This project will rejuvenate the stables and add value to the community. It will attract new residents, boost the local economy, and create opportunities for local contractors and suppliers. Conclusion: The transformation of the stable into a modern residential property presents a unique opportunity to preserve heritage, enhance the community, and create a sustainable living space. We look forward to working collaboratively to bring this vision to life, offering timeless and elegant homes for generations to come.
