Restoration of Langgarth House is now underway

The first phase of restoration works at historic Langgarth House are now underway following a fire which caused extensive damage to the building over a year ago.

The initial stage of works began in late May to secure and salvage key elements of the building while removing parts that have been damaged irreparably.

The works, being overseen by specialist advisors, will allow officers to fully assess the building to protect the remaining fabric of the building and structural elements.

It is estimated that this phase of work will take place over 18 weeks and will be funded entirely by insurance monies.

Langgarth House is included within the Viewforth Masterplan which is being marketed for future development following approval by councillors which was granted in October last year.
