Building Conservation Services

Building Conservation Services began operating in 2010 offering architectural design and building surveying services primarily within Devon, but also within the neighbouring counties of Cornwall, Somerset and Dorset. Our aim is to deliver high quality design and specification at reasonable rates. Offering expertise in building conservation, heritage and listed buildings we aim to offer an aesthetic balance between contemporary and traditional architectural design. Over the past decade we have built up an extensive portfolio of successfully delivered architectural design projects across the South West, including award winning projects in Appledore and Great Torrington.

Within the grounds of a Grade II listed farmhouse, create a new double garage with lean-to 'tractor shed' and ancillary room over, in addition to converting the Grade II listed threshing barn engine 'round house' to provide ancillary en-suite accommodation. Green oak frame and waney edged boards sourced from the Clients' own woodland adjacent to the farmhouse. Traditional oak joinery, lime render, lime pointing and thatch. Be it an extension to an existing heritage property, the refurbishment of an medieval farmhouse or a complete new build design, we will work with the Client to deliver their vision.
