Wycliffe Hall
A Spectacular Setting
In 2023, we were invited to put together a proposal for the domestic conversion of several agricultural barns in Monmouthshire. The complex consists of three main structures: stables; an old byre and milking parlour; a cruck barn. Disused for over 20 years, the barns are in poor condition and currently at risk of collapse. However, the buildings have a spectacular setting, with far reaching views across the valley. Nick Cox Architects were able to provide insight and advice into unlocking the site’s high visual appeal whilst preserving its charm.
Sustainable Solutions
Working with our clients, we aimed to find a practical, sustainable use for the buildings to secure their future. This led to a proposal for the conversion of the buildings into a three bedroom house with annex. The existing fabric of the buildings will also be upgraded for improved environmental performance. Energy for the dwelling will be provided by a ground source heat pump and the addition of PV panels.
Our proposal will preserve and enhance the listed buildings and their setting whilst also creating a beautiful and sustainable family home. The project is currently with Monmouthshire District Council under consideration for Planning and Listed Building Consent.
