Kimpton Manor is a Grade II* listed timber framed house dating back to 1444. Robert Adam Architects have been commissioned to coordinate the restoration of the historically important, but semi-derelict property.  Proposals incorporate the removal of poor quality early twentieth century over-dressing of the principal façade to expose the earlier phases of the building beneath, and the addition of a new extension to the rear of the property. 

The poor condition of the house requires the sensitive consolidation of one of the earliest examples of brickwork in Hampshire, severely undermined during the floods of 2000, and careful restoration of other key historic elements including stonework, plaster and timberwork. Work also includes the reinstatement of a rare oriel window uncovered in fragments during archaeological investigation. 

The historic sensitivity of the scheme has required that Robert Adam Architects coordinate a thorough historical analysis of the site including detailed archaeological study and specialist search to ensure the proposals are fully developed and justifiable.
