Blackpool-based Architectural design and consultancy business, WBD, has completed innovative plans for a Grade II listed building in Chorley.
Holt Farm on Wigan Lane, Chorley, dates back to the 14th century and is the former home of the Chisnall family. The property, which sits within seven acres of land, required a modernisation to make it a habitable 21st century property.
WBD was commissioned to design the plans for the extension and modernise of the property, whilst retaining its historical charm, since the client was very impressed with WBD’s previous architectural design work for similar projects.
The team swiftly produced initial designs, detailing a glass front exterior, which makes the most of the spectacular views as well as a contemporary overhaul inside.
Founded in 2011, WBD specialises in commercial and residential architecture, offering; consultation, surveying, concept design, planning drawings, planning and building control.
Simon Wallis, director, WBD, said: “This project called upon our team’s exceptional ability to convert historic properties into modern day useable spaces, whilst still retaining the historic characteristics of the property.
“The client needed a comprehensive overhaul of the property, both inside and out, including a sizable extension. Our design was well received by the client, who then began work on the property based on our drawings.
“WBD specialises in a variety of architectural services and has worked across several high-profile Lancashire development including Spagó Mediterranean & Seafood Restaurant in Lytham and the former Airtours head office in Rossendale.”
