Elegance restored

This former country Vicarage nas
been carefully restored to elegance
under the direction of the
enthusiastic new owners and
Clague partner Simon Beck. The
foundation of this listed building is
17th Century but the superstructure
was very substantially altered in
Victorian times.

Close liaison was required with
Canterbtuy City Council in order to
achieve the client's ambitious brief.

The stable, veranda canopy and
entrance conservatory were
faithfully reconstructed to the
original detail. New additions
included an indoor swimming
pool, an orangery and a utility
room. Much has also been created

out of the formerly rather plain
garden. The keynote of the work
has been careful attention to detail
and the use of high quality
materials.

 

There is no doubt that the house is
now one of the most desirable in
the area - however there is very
little chance of the current owners
wanting to move!
