Amersham - Listed Renovation

A contemporary addition and upgrades to a listed Mill House

JDA were appointed to assist with the refurbishment and modernisation of this stunning Grade II listed Mill House.

The property is believed to have been built in 1640 with a significant later Georgian extension at the front to create the Miller’s House.  Locally the house is highly significant as it is thought to have been built on the site of one of the three water mills at Amersham as mentioned in the Doomsday Book. Over time the Mill has been used for paper making and a Malt Mill for the local Weller Brewery.

As part of the modernisation, JDA designed a new ‘glass box’ extension to allow more light into the new kitchen and provide a better connection with the wonderful garden, something our client has created and maintained, and is understandably very proud of.  The new extension has been designed to complement the existing house and ensure its original character and heritage is maintained while the floating flat roof defines new living spaces inside and out.  A glass link detail provides a visual separation between new and old and handmade bricks marry the new wall of the link with the old house.

The new, relocated staircase, was designed in conjunction with our Structural Engineer client, who designed a “floating” staircase that connects the remodelled galleried landing.

JDA worked together with JDI who carried out the interior design.
