Sitting across from Froggatt Edge in the Peak District National Park, this listed Georgian coach house was originally built in the mid-18th century using sand-coloured gritstone quarried from the site itself. Over time, the building had been altered and subdivided, most notably during a mid-20th-century conversion that diminished the scale and clarity of the original spaces.

The project focused on carefully stripping back later interventions that were harming the historic fabric and allowing the building to breathe again.

Working closely with heritage consultants, detailed repair and conservation specifications were developed throughout. Plasters, linings and applied finishes were removed to reveal the robust shell of the building, reinstating its original proportions and character.

Grindleford, Peak District National Park


A simple timber floor was introduced to unify the interior, alongside bespoke joinery elements designed to Georgian proportions and crafted by specialist makers.

These interventions support modern living while remaining firmly rooted in the logic and rhythm of the original structure. The project was shaped by close collaboration with clients whose appreciation for both historic and contemporary design informed every decision.
