Lingholm Cafe
The foundations for the cafe building are now completed ahead of the steel portal frame arriving on site last week. This went up with some speed and now the form of the building is clearly visable along with the opening for the long ridge rooflight. The building will overlook the traditional walled garden that is being reinstated with the help of a specialist and the head gardener. We can’t wait to see further progress next month!

The inner buildings of the courtyard are in the process of being harled and the interior works are coming along, above is a picture of the master en-suite with feature copper bath.

Planning approval has been recently been granted for a new build affordable home in the Shropshire countryside. The House comprises of a two bedroom home with associated garage building linked by an integrated canopy.
New Kids On The Block
A belated welcome to Mark Bourne who joined us four months ago! Mark has taken on the role of Senior Technician and has so far proved to be a great asset to the company. He is currently involved in several schemes across the practice, including the new cafe at Lingholm and a second country house in Lancashire. Mark can be seen here with his prize zebra, which he insisted be desplayed pride of place above the door to the office.
New Build Country House Lancashire
Joe visited site yesterday to see how construction is coming along on the new stone built country house. The walls are nearly up to first floor level, most the ground floor window surrounds are in and the rooflight to the pool is on. Work should hopefully pick up pace as the milestone of completing the basement waterproofing is now complete as the last of the plinth stones was put in place at the end of July. We can’t wait to see the view from the first floor.
Lingholm Estate
Very proud to be able to work on this project
Lingholm Estate
We made a visit to the Lingholm Estate on Thursday of last week for a design review meeting about the boathouse, site meeting about the cafe construction that is due to start in the next few weeks and a general catch up on the progress of the estate.
The main house is now mostly complete with the works to the roof finished (and mighty impressive) along with the repaired and re-glazed stone room window and the completion of the estate office.
We were fortunate enough to have a sunny day for the visit too which made it all the more better.

Planning Permission for Lingholm Estate Cafe mentioned in the local news

Lingholm Estate Cafe
Shaw and Jagger are excited to announce that planning permission has been granted on an application to reinstate gardens and to re-open a public café as part of the ongoing refurbishment works at the Lingholm Estate, Portinscale, Keswick.
The cafe has been designed to reference the gardens original potting shed, which is named in the grade II listing for the site and shall be preserved within the scheme. The use of Lakeland slate and stone on the building will assure the new addition sits comfortably alongside Lingholm Main House; its outlook will be solely into the enclosed garden, away for the main house to maintain privacy for those staying in holiday accommodation on the estate.
The cafe will be a standalone structure, completely separate from the house and existing garden potting shed. This allows the cafe building and the public enclosed garden associated with it to be open 7 days a week throughout the year, as its own entity within the refurbished estate.
A key aspect of the design is to provide a destination on the western shore of Derwentwater between Keswick and Catbells/Dales Way and other tourist attractions. The café and garden that it sits within will be an accessible public space offering modern facilities, whilst referencing the history of the site and the wider estate. The garden will be an informal public space, welcoming all visitors whether they are using the cafe facilities, playground, staying on the estate or walking through the site to or from the new jetty for Derwentwater steam launch, or adjacent Catbells.
Further information about the estate can be found on their website: www.thelingholmestate.co.uk which features all the renovations that Shaw and Jagger are assisting with on the existing Grade II listed estate such as the recently completed Lake View apartment.
Boston Spa
Planning approval granted for a modern cantelevered rear extension to Grade II Listed Georgian terrace in Boston Spa. The scheme is currently out to tender prior to anticipated construction in the summer.
Park Parade, Harrogate
We have recently been granted planning and listed building consent on 30 Park Parade, Harrogate. The house is a Grade II Listed former shop. The approval grants permision for repair to sections of the building whilst permitting the opening up of some of the internal ground floor rooms to create an open plan space internally.
Planning consent has been granted on the careful rebuild and extension of the farm complex in Lancashire previously talked about. The Client moved away from the vertical timber cladding in favour of Corten Steel for its reduced maintenance cycle and aesthetic. Work will look to progress in the year.

Ed and Joe visited the site of the new build country house in Lancashire.
