Myddleton House and Gardens

Client

Lee Valley Regional Park Authority

In March 2003, the Lee Valley Regional Park Authority (LVRPA) commissioned Cazenove Architects in association with Sarah Couch; Architect and Historic Landscape Consultant, to prepare the Conservation Management Plan for Myddelton House and Gardens in Enfield, North London.

Myddelton House and Gardens consist of an early nineteenth century private house and a later garden landscape associated with the important horticulturist E.A. Bowles. The site contains various Grade II Listed Buildings and Structures - including the house, while the gardens are designated as a Grade II Registered Landscape. The site is located with the London Green Belt and the Enfield Chase Area of Special Character as well as partly residing in the Forty Hill Conservation Area.

The house is used by the Lee Valley Park Authority as its Headquarters and Cazenove has been commissioned to design a new office building adjacent to the listed buildings to house teams relocated from other sites. The conservation management plan has also proposed the refurbishment of the stable block to form a visitors centre, the relocation of the existing plant nursery and new circulation patterns relating to visitors and car parking.
