Avonview House is a grade II listed Manor House located in the village of Holt, Wiltshire. Dating from the 17th century, it was extended in the 18th century, in the early 19th century, in the mid 19th century and finally in the late 19th century. Each time the work was done in a style reflecting that period, creating a fascinating Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian hybrid. The new owners, our clients David & Toci, wanted another extension, this time a new kitchen space proportional to the size of the house and improving the circulation that had become disjointed over the years. We decided any addition had to be modern, reflecting its own period – but it had to do so without damaging or compromising what had gone before.
