Notice Title

Chestnuts House E17 - Repair Works and Electrical Upgrade

Notice Description

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is seeking a conservation-led contractor to assist the Council with undertaking essential repair works and an electrical upgrade to the Grade II* Listed Chestnuts House in Walthamstow E17. Chestnuts House is a Grade II* listed mansion built on the edge of the village of Walthamstow in approximately 1745. The building is owned by the Council and is regarded as one of the best surviving and least altered examples of Georgian domestic architecture in Waltham Forest. The building has remained largely unused since 2008, other than being occupied by residential 'Guardians' to ensure its security. Although Chestnuts House is occupied by live-in guardians, the building has suffered from a lack of maintenance and requires works to ensure its long-term future and its removal from Historic England's Heritage at Risk register. The Council wants to secure a long-term future for the building, and to enable the building's removal from the Heritage at Risk register. The Council is currently marketing the building to secure an operator to let the building for the provision of creative workspace. The intention is that the Council will complete essential repairs and the operator will undertake their own fit-out works.
