Client: The Penpont Estate

Materials Supplied: Limewash

This colour, tailor-mixed for Penpont Estate, in a traditional limewash has been applied to the old stone walls of the stable block - keeping it breathing, gently protecting in for future generations...   

Magnificent in its grounds and on the banks of the River Usk, Penpont lies in the middle of a 2000 acre working rural estate. The house is the centrepiece of a remarkable group of buildings spanning various periods, including a church, Dower house, stables, workshops, a dovecote on stilts and a 19th-century conservatory.

The Hoggs are committed to caring for their buildings appropriately as well as the environment and so have been a long time and much-treasured clients of Ty-Mawr.
