Twin Oaks

Twin Oaks is a landmark property situated on the outskirts of Eccleshall. It was built in 1862 as the village school by the architect G.E. Street and later became the village Memorial Hall. It has had a number of uses over the years, including a community centre and a cinema. In the early 1980s, the property was converted to a residential dwelling and underwent a thorough remodelling and renovation.

This project involved significant internal refurbishment. This included the removal of internal walls and the formation of openings, the introduction of a modern staircase within the lounge to access a cinema room, and the renovation of an internal swimming pool. The preservation of the original features of this Grade 2 listed building for future generations was key, including sandstone gothic arches and timber ribbon windows. An unsympathetic 1980s’ flat roof extension to the rear of the property was demolished and replaced with a contemporary extension. This has corner-less bi-folding doors and an overhanging roof providing a covered patio area.

The project boasts high-end finishes and materials, including polished concrete flooring, granite worktops, frameless glass balustrades, Schuco aluminium doors, home automation audio visual systems and an automated climate control system for the pool room.
