Old Milverton Hall
On this project, we carefully balanced the preservation of Old Milverton Hall’s historic fabric with modern structural design and effective drainage solutions to create safe, high-quality contemporary homes.

Old Milverton Hall

Residential

MJ Consulting Engineers provided structural design and drainage services for the renovation of Old Milverton Hall, a 19th-century building.

Working with Leo Architects and Quadrant Surveying, MJC played a key role in converting the former NHS clinic into apartments and adding an extension. The project also included designing new build bungalows that complement the historic style of the existing structure.

The renovation carefully preserved many original features while ensuring modern structural integrity and effective drainage. The result is a blend of historical charm with contemporary living, all while maintaining the unspoilt views of the surrounding area.
