We’ve built a team with decades of experience and an intimate understanding of the country’s rich architectural heritage, local materials, artisan trades and construction techniques, led by Mark Haslam, Knowles Country Operations Director.
Our portfolio is held with the utmost discretion but has ranged from legacy projects completed over many years due to size and complexity, to fast-tracked accelerated work to renovate the most sensitive of homes or add ancillary buildings to a property.
Knowles Country work in close collaboration with our Knowles Structures division, as the work often runs alongside each other for maximum output and results.
Please note, many of our Country projects are under strict non-Disclosure Agreements.
Knowles has had the privilege of delivering some of the country’s most exciting and prestigious new-build country estates, encompassing a diverse array of architectural styles.
From modern farmhouses to classically inspired Palladian residences, each project showcases our commitment to excellence. Our dedication to quality ensures that every estate blends harmoniously with its natural surroundings while meeting the bespoke requirements of our clients.
Our expertise extends beyond the main residences of country estates to encompass comprehensive estate works. This includes the construction of access roads, service buildings, leisure facilities, energy centres, staff accommodations, intricate hard landscaping, and even lakes and golf courses.
We ensure that the estate’s infrastructure supports both functionality and aesthetics – tailored to enhance its overall value and usability. Our holistic approach guarantees that every aspect of the estate is meticulously planned and executed to the highest standards.
