The United Reformed Church in Whitchurch is a Grade II listed building with distinctive historic and architectural value. Ian Rowan Heritage provided detailed heritage advice to support its sensitive conversion into residential accommodation.

The scheme involved the adaptive reuse of the church interior, ensuring that key historic features were retained and celebrated. One of the standout elements was the decision to retain the original pews within the gallery space, preserving the building’s historic character while accommodating new residential layouts.

Ian’s guidance was crucial in helping the design team navigate planning and heritage requirements, ensuring that the proposals respected the building’s significance while securing approval for its new use. This project is a strong example of how thoughtful adaptation can give historic structures a sustainable future.
