Squire Heritage Consulting provided specialist heritage advice for the conversion and refurbishment of 43 Turners Hill, a Grade II listed building in Cheshunt. Listed building consent was granted for its conservation-led adaptation to provide eight new homes within a previously developed town-centre site.
The building incorporates an earlier timber-framed structure behind its Georgian external character and had undergone successive alterations, including conversion to office use. Detailed investigation and architectural survey established its development, identified surviving historic fabric and distinguished significant elements from later interventions.
The heritage strategy informed the residential conversion, retaining the building's principal historic structure, plan-form characteristics, fireplaces, sash windows and surviving joinery while rationalising later alterations.
A detailed Heritage Scope of Works was also prepared to guide repair and alteration, establishing conservation principles for individual elements of historic fabric. This provided a practical framework for adapting the building to a sustainable residential use while conserving its special architectural and historic interest.
