“ We are delighted to recommend Dormer and Co who recently guided us through our extensive house renovation in central Harrogate. From initial design, through planning consent, commissioning our builder and project managing to practical completion they have been thoughtful and effective. Nic Dormer and his team worked tirelessly to meet our requirements and vision, set against the realities of a Victorian terrace, planning constraints and emergent building issues. No issues were too big or too small for them and they always came up with subtle and smart ideas that produced a wonderful outcome: a home full of light and brightness inside and out, working closely with the builder and the garden designer. A great collaborative effort over many months and a joy to live and relax in.”

Mr and Mrs W. Harrogate - Re-modelling of Victorian Townhouse
“A huge thank you for your guidance, expertise and patience in bringing the No.24 project to fruition. I am delighted with the outcome and continue to find new possibilities every day.”

Mrs H. Harrogate - House Alterations and Extensions
“I just wanted you to know that Richard and I are grateful to you every day for our incredible ‘black box’. We absolutely adore it and find it so uplifting. You were inspired - it hit our brief - and we are so very grateful.”

Mr and Mrs G. Harrogate - Contemporary Garden Room
“once again thank you for your patience, professional-ism and beautiful eye for detail”

Mr P. Harrogate - Restoration of listed building
“Our sincere thanks for your input into the design and build of our house. We are delighted with your design and specification. Externally the house is a “Grand Property” with beautiful stone features and fenestration. Internally it is contemporary, interesting and flows so well. Whilst it is a large house it does not feel so to live in even for two of us.”

Mr and Mrs A. skipton - New Build House
“The judges thought that the conversion of this long redundant barn showed excellence in not only design and conception but also agreed that doing this under Class Q Permitted Development rights demonstrated real initiative.”

Yorkshire Residential Property Awards judges - Contemporary Barn Conversion
“Rudding Estate is delighted that their latest property development project, Church Farm, won ‘Best Design Project’ at the Yorkshire Residential Property Awards 2017. Church Farm, a former steel framed grain store, has been totally transformed by Nic’s design into a stunning five bedroom house with wonderful countryside views from every window. Described as a ‘rural grand design’ it is a fabulous addition to the Rudding Estate residential property portfolio. After fourteen years of working with Nic Dormer I am delighted that Nic’s talents have deservedly won such recognition from Yorkshire’s property professionals”.
