Lubenham

Designed in the Arts and Crafts vernacular, this Paragraph 79 house has been rigorously reviewed through the Design Review process, ensuring it meets the highest standards of exceptional design.

Situated in a spectacular countryside setting, the house:

• Is constructed largely from local ironstone, reinforcing its connection to the region.

• Features a landscape carefully designed to blend gardens and natural areas seamlessly into the surrounding environment.

Developed in collaboration with Illman Young Landscape Architects, the design was reviewed by the Traditional Architecture Group before planning submission. The house draws inspiration from:

• The local village vernacular, ensuring it complements its rural setting.

• The work of Sir Edwin Lutyens, particularly his interventions at the now-demolished Papillon Hall.

This reinterpretation of the Arts and Crafts tradition is a true Grand Cottage, featuring:

• Local brick and stone construction, emphasizing craftsmanship.

• A layout structured around linked courtyards and gardens, enhancing outdoor connections.

• A central stone tower, housing the main stair and architectural focal point.

This project is a thoughtful blend of tradition and innovation, creating a timeless home that respects its historic influences while embracing modern living.
