In the rolling countryside of Wiltshire, an inspirational client set out to transform a historic Georgian property into a refined country residence, blending heritage with modern living.

Challenge

Set within a heavily wooded Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the late Georgian rectory had long been subdivided to house three separate families. Our client’s vision was to restore to its former elegance as a single-family home, while introducing thoughtful extensions and significant upgrades.

afriPROP was appointed to conduct a planning and development feasibility study, ensuring that design ambitions aligned with the site’s environmental sensitivities and strict planning constraints.

Solution

We collaborated with internationally acclaimed architects to develop concept designs and secure approvals through a complex planning process — achieving success at every stage with the local council.

Acting as client representative, afriPROP managed the full professional team, coordinating architecture, design, engineering, and landscape inputs. We set clear delivery milestones across all project phases, ensuring that every element of the client’s vision was realised with precision and purpose.

Outcome

Through close collaboration between the client, architects, and on-site teams, afriPROP provided a single point of leadership and accountability, uniting all disciplines under one coordinated approach.

The completed project has since won multiple local and international awards, recognised for its craftsmanship, sensitivity to context, and architectural excellence.

Summary

From inception to completion, afriPROP’ involvement ensured clarity, quality, and seamless communication across every stage of development. By engaging our network of expert artisans early, we delivered a home defined by exceptional detail and timeless design — completed on schedule, to the very day.
