Dinton Hall
bUCKINGHAMSHIRE, UK
COMPLETED 2025
Dinton Hall is a Grade II listed country house in Buckinghamshire, with origins dating back to the early 16th century and later additions spanning the 17th and 19th centuries. Surrounded by historic gardens and ancillary listed structures, the estate represents centuries of architectural evolution and heritage significance. Today, the property is undergoing careful restoration and enhancement to secure its future, blending respect for its layered history with the requirements of modern living.
OUR ROLE
Greenway Associates were appointed as Cost Consultants and Project Managers to support the sensitive refurbishment and adaptation of Dinton Hall. Our role focused on balancing heritage conservation with contemporary upgrades, ensuring that all interventions aligned with listed-building requirements while remaining cost-effective and deliverable.
THE PROJECT
The scheme encompasses [restoration works / services upgrades / landscape interventions / adaptive reuse elements – to be specified]. Particular attention has been paid to [heritage features, such as Jacobean staircases, panelling, fireplaces, dovecote, or garden structures], as well as the integration of modern amenities to improve functionality and long-term sustainability.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Throughout the project, careful planning and collaboration with heritage consultants, conservation officers, and the design team allowed us to preserve the historic character of Dinton Hall while accommodating modern requirements. We successfully delivered a cost strategy that ensured interventions were achievable within budget, while supporting the preservation of key heritage features and enabling contemporary use of the estate. The project demonstrates how thoughtful cost management can support sensitive restoration and long-term sustainability.
CHALLENGES
The project presented a number of complex challenges, most notably navigating the strict requirements of a Grade II listing across multiple historic elements. Integrating modern services and amenities into a fragile and layered historic fabric required careful planning, specialist trades, and close collaboration with conservation experts. Additionally, balancing the building’s centuries of architectural evolution with programme and budget certainty demanded a meticulous approach to both design and cost management.
