New and old are closely attuned in this Grade II-listed Georgian house, nestled on the edge of the National Trust-owned Kingston Lacy Estate and close to the picturesque market town of Wimborne Minster. A creative extension by award-winning practice ZMMA transformed the home, adding light and volume to a building replete with hearty original details. The gardens around the house are complete with a large studio and workshop – also designed by ZMMA – which has been in use as a ceramics studio. In need of gentle updating, Hill Butts House presents itself as an exceptional opportunity for its next owners to make their mark.
