Froyle Place
A sensitive conversion of a Grade II* Listed Manor house set in Froyle Park.
Accommodation totalled approximately 16,000 sqm including the former Treloar school building and 5 separate listed buildings within the village Conservation area.
Froyle Place
The core of this early 17th century, E-plan layout, Grade II* Listed mansion was built in a distinctive Jacobean architectural style. The basement incorporates elements of an earlier medieval house.
The main range has accommodation over 4 levels, with a lower status 2 storey range to the west. The house was remodelled at least twice during the Georgian period and again in the Victorian era and when the building was a school. It was a private residence until 1949, when it became Lord Mayor Treloar College, subsequently moved to a new site in nearby Holybourne.
Our proposals sympathetically convert the 2900 sqm house into a new Country Club/Wedding & Events Venue, forming the hub of the wider masterplan proposals for the site.
Expert design involvement
After taking Pre-Application advice, WDA submitted Detailed Planning, Listed and Building Regulations applications. Having gained the approvals, we assisted on site during the building construction phase.
Works included; partial demolition of redundant former school buildings; repairs to historic structures, repointing of stonework, refurbishment of joinery and windows. New heating systems, mechanical and electrical installations, fire compartmentation, ventilation and means of escape arrangements were installed. The existing kitchens were refurbished to serve the new hotel complex.
