Many property owners think you must choose between a charming Cotswold cottage and an energy-efficient home. Living in a listed manor house or cottage often means contending with draughty windows, damp, and expensive oil heating. As Cotswold architects, we know heritage and sustainability can align. Preserving a building is sustainable if its fabric is respected.

The Cotswolds are renowned for their picturesque landscapes and timeless charm. Tucked away amidst these rolling hills often lie forgotten relics of a bygone era: disused barns, stables, and other agricultural buildings. For many, these structures are simply part of the scenery, but for a discerning few, they represent an extraordinary opportunity to create truly unique, character-filled family homes.
