Paske House, Leicestershire

The new house is proposed in a sensitive historic setting, on a secluded piece of land between a Grade II listed former manor house and a Grade I listed church; the name refers to the historic title of the original manor house.

The site was previously occupied by ancillary buildings and probably part of a kitchen garden; the long brick walls are a reference to the historic use of the land and evoke associations of a walled garden.

Located on a sylvan plot, the dwelling benefits from the afternoon and evening sun and enjoys views through the mature trees towards church and manor house.
