Features:
This manor house was constructed circa 1860 for the Port Elliot estate for Great Western Railways. Its thoroughbred in terms of its fine and well-detailed construction is clear throughout the building from its sound and solid foundations and retaining walls to its intricate and carefully detailed roof structure. ARCO₂ carried out an exceptionally sympathetic intervention to this dwelling to bring it back to its former ‘glory’. The inclusion of underfloor heating, a biomass wood burner, underfloor insulation and super-insulation within the roof structure has given this 750 square metre Manor a new lease of life. Running costs to space and water heating have been reduced by over 75%. Working under a tight budget, ARCO₂ and an extremely capable and proactive client managed to bring this project in on cost and on time.
