Gregory Phillips Architects is a London architectural studio with more than 30 years of experience designing exceptional private homes, with a project near Chilgrove in West Sussex that renovated a listed house and its stables.

We worked hard to preserve original features throughout, including the stable screen doors and brick flooring, while creating new contemporary interiors for a unique and comfortable living space.

The Chilgrove area falls under Chichester District Council, with some sites also subject to South Downs National Park Authority planning controls, we’d be glad to talk through what applies to your property.

Architects in West Sussex

West Sussex’s rural setting, much of it within or close to the South Downs National Park, brings a particular set of planning considerations alongside the usual listed building and conservation area requirements.

Near Chilgrove, we took on the renovation of a listed house and its stables, working to retain and celebrate original features, the stable screen doors and brick flooring among them, while creating contemporary interiors suited to modern family life within the historic shell.

Properties in this part of West Sussex often fall under both Chichester District Council and the South Downs National Park Authority, and we’ve built experience navigating both processes together.

If you’re planning a renovation or extension in West Sussex, we’d welcome the chance to discuss what’s achievable for your property.

In West Sussex, our studio offers the full range of architectural services, with involvement from concept design and planning consents through to construction information and house styling.
