Housing Development – Conversion of disused barn and new build, Kelham, Nottinghamshire

We were commissioned by the Civil Service Housing Association to prepare a proposal for the conversion of the disused barns and the construction of 15 new dwellings. The site of Home Farm was originally part of the Kelham Hall and is located adjacent to this historic structure. The site is bounded by Main Road (A617) to the north and the west, the Mission Dyke which drains to the River Trent and the garden wall to Kelham Hall. Originally home of the Manner-Suttons family, the original hall was destroyed in a fire on 27th November 1857 and Sir George Gilbert Scott was commissioned for the redesign of the hall as it now stands. This Sir G. G. Scott design is still deemed as one of the masterpiece of Victorian Gothic architecture of the time. Scott during the rebuilding of the Kelham Hall, seized the opportunity in an attempt to unified some of the farm buildings with his new design of Kelham Hall, utilised some of the earlier detailing of the complex and integrated them with the original Home Farm buildings. A detailed measured survey of the original buildings and land was undertaken, and a full photographic record made
