Stivichall Manor is a Grade II listed building designated in 1974, although the wider site also hosts archaeology associated with the manor’s medieval origins. The existing building is understood to date to the 18th century, but its core is believed to have still earlier, 17th century origins.

Proposals for four new dwellings within the curtilage of the listed building were submitted on 28th November 2023. These sought to fully utilise and enhance this vacant, derelict land where this represented a clearly negative impingement upon the immediate setting of the designated heritage asset.

Subservient and sited to the rear of the listed building, proposed dwellings are of a design ethos that is authentically contemporary yet necessarily reflective of both the host and the listed building’s wider context. Such an approach ensures a requisite legibility of phasing across the site, whilst simultaneously assimilating within the surrounding, inter-war suburban townscape.
