ROCK HOUSE

This 3 storey townhouse, built circa 1740 was originally one room deep with a kitchen and parlour at ground floor with bedrooms above. The symmetrical front elevation, set around a front door is typical for this period of architecture. Further rear extensions were added in the 1890’s, mid and late 20th century. The property had been stripped back to the core structure and features.

Our work involved turning this former dentists’ surgery back to a well-appointed and modernised town house with discrete ‘Sheepwool’ insulation, solar panels, new services throughout and improved fire protections. It is used temporarily as a top-end

As a Corbel Design and Build project, we produced an exacting set of detailed working drawings , schedule of works and specification, that enabled accurate pricing, site construction and management throughout the job, delivering on time and on budget.

This level of detail was much more than is usually given in a traditional tender process and enabled the client to be fully engaged throughout. It allowed our in-house tradesmen and women to produce an outstanding top end finish that all parties were very pleased with.

The name ‘Rock House’ dates to at least 1884. Nobody is quite sure where the name derives!

ROCK HOUSE Living room after restoration

Here’s a before and after shot of the front door. What a difference! A softer colour for the woodwork and paint peeled back from the stone surround looking much more natural.

Putting all the features of the house back to how it was, original fireplaces, restored floors, fixed roof, etc
