The National Trust

Project: Fullers Farm, Hatchlands Estate

Value: £1.85m

Duration: 18 months

Description: With a core emphasis on the conservation and preservation of historic features, we provided support to the National Trust in the restoration of five existing barns at Fullers Farm on the Hatchlands Estate near Guildford. Our services encompassed the provision of initial budgeting and pre-planning advice, followed by full planning, detailed design, tendering, and eventual project delivery, which included CDM Principal Designer services. A critical aspect throughout the project was maintaining a balance between sympathetic design and considerations for the local ecology required to attain planning permission, alongside the design and specification of each refurbished unit, necessary to ensure compliance with current building regulations and other standards.
