Grade II Listed Thorpe Constantine Hall, first listed on 9th March 1953 was originally built of brick and stone in 1651, the date being recorded on the lead rainwater heads. The main elevation had 3 shaped gables, recorded in an early illustration. Such houses often incorporated parts of earlier ones, but the square ground plan of Thorpe suggests a wholly new mid 17th Century house. One of the properties to the estate is a farmhouse (now named Constantine house) and is subject of conversion proposals into a hotel for the recently completed wedding venue on the site. Our brief was to extend the property and create a new open plan multifunction dining and arrival space for the bedrooms and suites. This consisted of fully glazed walls to the main frontage with an exposed angled timber framed roof and soffit. Construction work is now underway.
