COUNTRY HOUSE RENOVATION
TRISCOMBE, SOMERSET
2001 - 2005
Triscombe House was built in 1904 by local builders Pollards for Mr F.H. Cheetham, a wealthy cotton mill owner of the day. The prestigious country property was designed by architect Sir Ernest Newton who introduced many features into the interior including extensive Jacobean style oak paneling and decorative plaster ceilings. In 1984 the house was given Grade II Listed Building Status.
Unfortunately in 2002 the building suffered extensive damage in a fire which destroyed most of the roof and the first floor. In 2002 Trevor J Spurway (Architect) Ltd were appointed by a private client to undertake the design and oversee the full restoration of the main house, stables, gatehouse and the introduction of a new swimming pool.
Due to the extensive fire damage and the listed status of the house great care was taken in the design and detailing. In many areas original material and details were preserved with new matching detail created.
