Hersey Manor, Warickshire. Grade II Listed Planning granted - on site in 2014 TRINITY HALL
Trinity Hall was designed by renowned architect William Wilkinson. It suffered badly through being converted and used as student flats for over a decade.
The project involved complete refurbishment and considerable extension to the property to create a beautiful family home. Through extending at the lower ground floor and basement levels we were able to add a significant floor space to the property whilst retaining its stature within the Conservation Area.
