Bespoke Residential
The Moorings
This residential-led mixed use scheme has created a much sought after development within the in the heart of Garstang. The project was completed in 2008 and the designs have proven timeless, complementing the site’s unique topography and picturesque canal basin setting. Alongside the residential dwellings and apartments, the project also included delivery of the award-winning Wyrebank function space. The Moorings has created beautiful spaces through carefully designed built infrastructure and we are delighted with the end result that enhances Garstang’s built tapestry.
Ridgy Pool Farm
This agricultural diversification scheme has created some truly beautiful homes from dilapidated farm buildings. The designs proved a huge success with purchasers, with the barns achieving sales values well in excess of the developers forecast market values. Alongside the detailed designs for the project, our team also secured the all-important planning consent that ultimately generated the value uplift. Ridgy Pool Farm was a huge success, providing a significant investment return for the developer, three beautiful homes for the purchasers and through carefully designed built infrastructure, retained the historic agri-tapestry of the farm.
Gubberford Fields
This residential scheme was undertaken on behalf of an independent house builder, with the commission included full planning and architectural services. The setting of the site warranted the creation of some truly awe-inspiring executive properties, to maximise the uninterrupted views afforded across the Forest of Bowland area of outstand natural beauty. Each house was crafted from beautiful, solid Yorkshire stone, finished under slate, and detailed with bespoke glazing features. The finished products are testament to the amalgamation of exquisite design with expert construction capabilities.
Snow Hill Barn
This project involved the creation of a bespoke house extension, complete with triple garage. The complexity was delivering the necessary floor area, while not undermining the traditional characteristic of the original barn. To ensure the brick character barn remained focal, a dark Marley Eternit cladding was specified, complete with dark framed glazing and a lower brick course to aid assimilation. The client was delighted with the finished project and relishes the panoramic views afforded by the new glazing features.

Boggart House Farm
After numerous unsuccessful attempts to secure planning permission, we successfully assisted the landowner in obtaining consent not only for his own family home but also for a second plot. The sale of this additional plot provided vital funding for the development. The purchaser of the second plot requested a comprehensive design package, and it was a pleasure to collaborate with them in delivering this stunning family home in Barton near Preston
Chipping Barn
The clients aspired to create a signature new home that preserved the charm of the original property. Our design team embraced the challenge, revealing the exquisite internal timber structure while maintaining a modest frontage and introducing a more elaborate rear elevation. The rear-facing balconies not only frame panoramic views of the surrounding countryside but also flood the interior with natural light, breathing new life into the existing building.
Former Church Inn
Working on sites that are symbolic to the history of a community always creates numerous challenges and opportunities. The Church Inn project in Garstang was no different, with the former pub no longer commercially viable the aim was to secure the longevity of this iconic building, while maximising the potential for the client and host community. The resultant project has seen the key characteristics of the site retained, including the re-exposure of the original stonework, while delivering 11 dwellings from the building and surrounding land. We are delighted with the development that enhances the local vernacular and provides high quality family homes.
