Church View House

A meticulous Grade II listed renovation that preserves the historic soul of Church View House while introducing exceptional craftsmanship, modern comfort, and quietly luxurious family living.

Heritage, Carefully Renewed

Church View House required a complete renovation shaped by the responsibilities of working with an important listed building. Traditional lime plaster and breathable lime paints were used alongside careful repairs to the stonework, historic windows, exposed beams, and original architectural details. The property was fully rewired and replumbed, with underfloor heating, an air source heat pump, upgraded security, and new entrance gates discreetly integrated to provide modern performance without disturbing its character.

Throughout the house, old and new have been brought together with restraint. A fitted Heartwood kitchen sits comfortably among stone floors, deep window reveals, and aged timbers, while internal black steel-framed doors introduce a sharper architectural line and allow light to travel between rooms. The completed interiors feel refined and contemporary, yet unmistakably connected to the history of the building.

Project Statement

A historic home preserved with sensitivity, then elevated through craftsmanship, technology, and beautifully considered detail.

Joinery with Purpose

Bespoke joinery plays a defining role throughout Church View House. Made-to-measure media cabinetry, wardrobes, window seats, vanity units, and integrated storage were designed around the irregular proportions of the listed structure. In the sitting room, a full-width media wall combines traditional panelled cabinetry with decorative mesh-fronted doors and concealed lighting, while carefully formed window seating turns the deep stone openings into inviting places to pause.

One of the property’s most memorable additions is the new private bar. Rich joinery, dramatic stone surfaces, and antique-inspired lighting create an intimate setting, while a glazed floor panel opens electrically to reveal access to the wine cellar below. This technically complex feature transforms a previously concealed lower level into part of the experience of the home, balancing theatre with precision engineering.

Clarke Construction approached the renovation of our home with a level of care and discipline required by a propertylike this. The house has been completely transformed, but none of its history or character has been lost.

The quality of the craftsmanship is exceptional, particularly the joinery, bar, cellar access, and bathrooms. The project was complex, but the team remained professional, organised, and solutions-focused throughout.

Before/After

Church View House has evolved from a historic property requiring extensive renewal into a cohesive and highly individual family home. Its original fabric, proportions, stonework, windows, and beams remain central to the experience, but the house is now supported by completely renewed services, efficient heating, improved security, and spaces designed around modern life. Carefully integrated joinery, a new kitchen, luxurious bathrooms, the private bar and wine-cellar entrance, and converted attic accommodation have given every floor a clear purpose. The transformation is substantial, but the building still feels authentically itself, which is the true measure of a successful listed renovation.
