Unveiling History: Renovating a Grade II Listed Victorian Residence with a Medieval Twist


Nestled within the charm of the North Devon Countryside lies a hidden gem of history—a Grade II listed Victorian residence undergoing a remarkable transformation. At L Vickery we were proud to lead the renovation efforts, which include uncovering and reviving a medieval reservoir tucked away in the property's basement.


Our journey began with a commitment to honour the residence's heritage while injecting new life into its timeless design. As we delved deeper into the restoration process, we stumbled upon the unexpected—a medieval reservoir, a relic of the past waiting to be rediscovered.


With careful planning and skilled engineering, we meticulously renovated the reservoir, blending its historical significance with modern functionality. From reinforcing foundations to enhancing waterproofing, every step was taken to preserve its integrity while meeting contemporary standards.


The result is a seamless fusion of Victorian elegance and medieval marvel, where each room tells a story, and every corner echoes with the whispers of centuries past. Beyond the residence itself, we've harmonised with the surrounding landscape, ensuring that the external beauty matches the buildings decor..


At L Vickery we're dedicated to breathing new life into historical properties, where every renovation project is a celebration of the past and a promise for the future.
