Knaresborough House

A large replacement dwelling for a private client. The site is located upon the crags overlooking the river and town of Knaresborough in North Yorkshire.

The project was to take down the existing small two storey 1960’s style dwelling house which due to its position on the site did not make best use of the views. The new dwelling was to be positioned to take best advantage of the views while not imposing itself upon the surrounding properties and general area. Sympathetic landscaping and tree planning was to be employed to increase the privacy of the occupants of the new dwelling and the existing residents.

 Internally the accommodation was on a grand scale, the principal rooms were large light and airy with French doors and large windows to take advantage of the views.
