The roof of this Grade II listed property was almost completely destroyed after a fire in 2015.

The roof was reformed using green oak trusses to replicate the original roof structure, which were designed to support the floor loading from the first-floor estate office. Repairs were carried out to damaged stone walls, and internal structural steelwork was replaced. The original cast iron columns to ground floor were repaired and reused.
