Mains Farm, Ebchester 

The project relates to the conversion of two historic barns north of Mains Farm, Front Street, Ebchester. The proposal was to regenerate the structures into three new habitable holiday cottages including a small extension to the east gable.

The site lies within a Scheduled Monument of Vindomora Roman Fort and there are remains of a Roman Bath directly opposite the barns and within the garden of the existing farmhouse.

Given the sensitivity of the site, the Local Authority enforced an archaeological watching brief and restricted the depth of dig for the excavations associated with new ground bearing slabs and foundations. We developed our structural designs to satisfy these parameters on a challenging site.
