What has changed during the refurbishment?
Extensive work has taken place to improve the fabric and infrastructure of the building, including plumbing, drainage, electrics, heating, sound insulation, windows, doors and floors.

The flat roof above a new kitchen has been reinforced, giving space for a deck with views across the skyline of Liskeard. Downstairs, floor levels have been adjusted, improving access, and creating flexible, multi-purpose spaces for co-working, children’s activities, reading, events and more.
