The building consists of remnants of the 14th and 15th Century Abbey Gate complex, parts of which were converted into housing in the 17th Century. For the past 100 years the building had been used as a builder’s yard and offices and had been poorly maintained and altered. 

With a Grade I listing and with the grounds scheduled as an Ancient Monument painstaking efforts were needed to save as much of the original building as possible, whilst creating 12 apartments within the building. O’Brien & Price Cheltenham Ltd assessed all elements of the existing structure and drainage, and designed remedial works and alterations, to suit the final arrangement.
