18th Century
Grade 2 Listed Farmhouse, Mylor
 

EGD Renovations restored a farmhouse in Mylor from a near-derelict building back to its former glory, for which we proudly received a Cornish Buildings Award for Outstanding Restoration of a Historic Building in 2021

 

This complex restoration involved close liaison with Cornwall Council's Conservation Officers and Building Control throughout the project. Archaeological surveys documented the historic drainage system, and bat surveys were completed to meet protected species requirements. EGD Renovations coordinated all post-planning requirements, including submission of method statements for conservation approval prior to works commencing, and ensured the project met all heritage and regulatory requirements.
