Our client wanted to build a brand-new home on their plot, directly next to an existing traditional Yorkshire stone property. The challenge was clear: the new house needed to seamlessly blend in with the existing architecture and character of the area—down to the stone type, colour, mortar finish, and detailing. Planning permission was contingent on achieving a cohesive look, and any mismatch would undermine both the aesthetic and value of the development.
We sourced high-quality, locally quarried Yorkshire stone that closely matched the age, tone, and texture of the neighbouring property. Our experienced team worked with traditional masonry techniques to replicate the detailing around windows, doors, and rooflines. We also liaised closely with planning officers and conservation experts to ensure the build met all local design regulations and heritage expectations.
Internally, the home was built to modern specifications, ensuring the highest levels of comfort, energy efficiency, and contemporary design—while the exterior retained the timeless charm of traditional Yorkshire stone architecture.
