Restoration

The Rowley Estates has undertaken an ambitious and sensitive programme of restorations across a number of historic properties in the heart of the Lake District and Eden Valley. These restorations blend the preservation of architectural heritage with the integration of modern luxury, resulting in uniquely charming accommodations that honour the past while meeting the expectations of today’s travellers.

Each project has involved meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful design. Original features such as stone walls, oak beams, inglenook fireplaces, and mullioned windows have been carefully retained and restored, preserving the unique character and stories of each building. At the same time, modern amenities have been seamlessly introduced to ensure comfort, practicality, and sustainability.

The restoration process has included repairing damage from age, fire, and disuse, often in collaboration with conservation specialists and heritage bodies to maintain the architectural integrity of listed buildings. From medieval towers to traditional Cumbrian longhouses, each estate has been brought back to life as a welcoming and luxurious retreat.

Through these efforts, The Rowley Estates not only safeguards important pieces of local history but also provides guests with a rare opportunity to experience the timeless beauty of traditional English architecture—carefully restored, lovingly maintained, and reimagined for contemporary living.
