VENTROLLA - Renovated Windows Add To The Splendour Of Townhouse
Hotel
The Lion and Pheasant hotel in Shrewsbury called in Ventrolla Staffs and
Shropshire to renovate the sash windows on the well known stylish townhouse
hotel, bar and restaurant in the heart of the town.
Over thirty sash windows were given a complete overhaul to ensure they were in
perfect working order, energy efficient and in keeping with the 17th and 18th
century structures and sophisticated interior design.
Rachael Chidlow, a partner at award-winning architects Paul Keogh Architects, is
delighted with the renovated windows.
The renovation process involved installing Ventrolla’s unique Perimeter Sealing
System (VPSS) around the outer edges of the sashes, which improves energy
performance by eliminating draughts.
Rachael said: “We recognised we needed to transform the property as its
condition had deteriorated. We didn’t want to sell the property as it is a large
part of our family history and so we decided to restore and revitalise it into
the unique boutique town house hotel it is today.”
“We removed all the secondary glazing and restored the sash windows to match the
quality of the architecture and renovated interiors. Our priority was the
aesthetics of the building but we are delighted with the improved heat retention
we are now benefiting from too.”
Following the renovations, The Lion and Pheasant now has 22 bedrooms, two bars,
restaurant, reception and banqueting facilities, bringing a new dimension in
hospitality to Shrewbury’s historic town centre. It also features the
spectacular Georgian 'Crystal Room', a split level restaurant and an impressive
oak-trussed 'loft' bedroom.
The renovation combines the best of historic preservation with contemporary
design. The independent family-owned hotel is now under the management of Jim
Littler - one of the area’s best known young managers.
Ventrolla’s central office is based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, with offices
throughout the UK and Ireland, and offers a bespoke renovation service for
timber sliding sash and casement windows.
