  • Repairs to Stables Building in Church Street, Wylye

    Type: Commendation

    This is a modest building, although the two interesting stone mullioned windows, surviving wholly or in part, suggest either that it was once something more substantial, or that windows from an older building had been re-used in it. It was identified by the Wylye conservation area appraisal document as a feature of value, but had […]

  • New Bellcote at St Nicholas’s Church, Little Langford

    Type: Commendation

    The church at Little Langford, while small and unassuming, is one that repays the slight detour from the back road along the Wylye valley needed to reach it. Viewed from that road or very briefly from the railway line close by, the bellcote is one of its most distinctive features, though not one with a […]

  • Little Paradise, Salisbury Cathedral

    Type: Commendation

    Of all the projects looked at, the judges agreed that the Little Paradise development presented the most challenging brief. Much-needed facilities had been created by filling in the space between the south transept and the Chapter House, an area not in the normal way viewed by the public, and used over the years for various […]

  • Extension at The Knapp, Tisbury

    Type: Award

    Photographs of this C17th stone house prior to the project showed a fairly uninteresting face presented to the road, with a prominently placed functional but blank garage and an uninspiring house entrance beyond it. This had been transformed by the creation of a gable-ended extension, containing an original window carefully moved from the house rear […]

  • The Old Stables, Long Close, Downton

    Type: Award

    Located in the middle of Downton and long since disconnected from its original agricultural function, this is a building well suited to residential use, but like all barn conversions it needed to be handled sensitively to avoid an over-domestic feel. The judges’ visit showed how well this had been achieved. In the main range full […]

  • The Tollgate, Salisbury

    Type: Award

    Prominently situated on a road junction near St Martin’s church, the C18th pub closed some years ago and conversion to residential use was the obvious way forward for it. In the wrong hands, such work could have led to a lacklustre outcome, but the judges were quickly convinced that the approach taken was just the […]

  • Salisbury Cathedral Chapter House – Repairs and Conservation

    Type: Award

    It was no surprise to discover that the recent campaign of repairs to the chapter house demonstrated the very high standards seen in previous award-winning projects at the cathedral. The rusting of embedded ironwork and other issues, including the need for work to the glazing, had led to a comprehensive schedule being developed, designed to […]

  • The Paragon, Wilton Road, Salisbury

    Type: Award

    Photographic evidence, backed by the memories of those judges familiar with the history of the site, depicted the state of utter dereliction into which these four listed, early Victorian houses had been allowed to fall after years of institutional use. A visit to the site confirmed the transformation brought about by the project which returned […]
