Holcombe Farm Stables, Painswick, Stroud

Planning Permission received for the residential conversion of a Grade-II Listed stables. Located near Painswick, the traditional Cotswolds Stables will be converted into a modern architect designed family home.

We worked collaboratively with Stroud District Council through the Pre-Application process to develop a sympathetic design which retains the historic core and carefully inserts a contemporary design, creating a balance between old and new.

The design removes a series of modern sheds and provides a modest timber framed glazed extension to capitalise on the stunning views of the surrounding fields. The Grade-II Listed Stables will be highly insulated to support the installation of an air source heat pump. Solar slates and an integrated photovoltaic (P.V.) roof will provide electricity to the heat pump and supplement the hot water requirements of the Stables. This will reduce long term running costs and provide a comfortable home with underfloor heating provided throughout.
