We are pleased to note that enabling works have started on the Youngsbury Estate. The works include the installation of exclusion fencing for great crested newts and a number of targeted archaeological investigations. The project contract is currently being tendered with a view to starting late 2020.

Youngsbury is an early C18 Grade II listed house in Hertfordshire built in 1745 and designed by James Paine, one of the most respected architects of the time. The house also sits within a parkland estate design by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.

Following a long period of negotiation with the Local Authority, CGA received planning and listed building consent for a site wide masterplan including reinstatement the historic second floor, roof structure, the introduction of slim double glazing and contemporary orangery extension.
