Check out another recent bathroom renovation completed from start to finish…

Grade 1 listed Barnston Manor is reputed to be one of the oldest dwellings in the whole of the Purbecks. With origins dating back to the 13th century and links to Oliver Cromwell this stunning buildings is steeped in historic and Architectural significance. The work consisted of a sympathetic conversion of the dairy and piggery buildings to provide guest accommodation and workshop space. Within the main manor house a dividing wall was removed within the great Hall, in turn making it one open room, as historically intended and the kitchen moved to another part of the house. Alongside the alteration works was a new plant room and heating system accompanied by new electrical works as required.

Special thanks to Corbel who were the main contractor on this project.

The house, with classical Georgian proportions, had been extended to the west blocking much light into the kitchen at the heart of the house. To unlock this a new Oriel opens up the kitchen and new dining space to the south and west – gaining views across a courtyard garden.

Reintroducing an entrance hallway will recreate the Georgian cellular room layout whilst reopening south facing windows to an enlarged new build Orangery / Garden Room opens the primary living spaces to the main garden and natural light.

Unfortunately, an accidental burst water main pipe caused serious flood damage throughout the house. Corbel have carried out an enabling works to strip back affected areas and the first phase of work is about to start on site to repair the flood damage and to reconfigure the upstairs layout to improve bathrooms, energy efficiency and fire protection. Future phases will complete the ground floor Oriel and Garden Room alterations.
