North Aston Hall

Swimming Pool Extension to Listed Building

North Aston Hall is an 18th Century Jacobethan Mansion in North Aston, Oxfordshire.  The buildings comprised an 18 bedroom main house with several outbuildings.  One of which was the Coach House, onto which the pool hall was constructed.

The client required an indoor/outdoor pool with swim channel between the two.  He also wanted a timber portal frame effect, so a glulam frame was chosen.  In keeping with the rest of the property, the walls were ashlar stonework outer skin with a dense blockwork inner skin.  Large bay windows   created an 'orangary' effect from outside.

The new building also included changing rooms,  a lounge and a plant room.  The existing coach house was refurbished with a new office requiring new inner  walls and upgraded floors .
