Why this Family opted for a Grade II Listed Tower Renovation, Demolition and Contemporary New Build Extension
Steeped in history, Thickwood Lodge was originally constructed in 1820 for the Duke of Rutland to house gamekeepers on the historic Longshaw Estate. Situated near Owler Bar along the historic ‘Duke's Drive’ carriage route, the iconic 19th-century hunting lodge boasted a unique square-plan tower and spectacular moorland views, but it had also been subjected to a series of unsympathetic 20th-century extensions that desperately needed rectifying.
What they wanted to achieve
To bring this historic hunting lodge back to life while creating a functional, highly efficient home for modern family living. The main objective was twofold: to meticulously restore the Grade II listed stone tower to its original glory, and to replace the outdated outbuildings and additions with a striking, contemporary extension. The Family wanted to maximise the stunning, panoramic views of Sheffield and the surrounding Peak District moorland, seamlessly blending historic character with modern luxury.
What we did
Situated in the beautiful, sensitive moorland context of the Longshaw Estate, this incredible property underwent a complete architectural transformation. Turning a mismatched, dilapidated site into a breathtaking, premium home fit for the Family to flourish in.
The property benefited from the complete demolition of the existing un-sympathetic structures, a meticulous heritage restoration of the Grade II listed Tower, and a brand-new contemporary building addition.
Whilst our structural alterations sought to preserve and enhance the historic character of the original hunting lodge, the new build extension was designed alongside Peak Architects as a sleek, open-plan contemporary addition. This striking contrast utilises expansive glazing to flood the home with natural light, perfectly complementing the original 19th-century stonework exactly as per the Family's brief.
The result, well see for yourself…
