PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Judge's comment: An excellent example of careful conservation, giving a new life to a large ruined 19th century house. The romantic castle walls have been skilfully stabilised with internal strengthening steelwork; extensive structural alterations to the stables to convert them for visitor centre, café, shop and holiday flats the stables have been made without losing the essential 19th century appearance.
