McGrath Associates were thrilled to be involved with a project at this fantastic building in the Lake District.  YHA Wastwater is a stunning half-timbered National Trust-owned house dating from 1829 and still retains many original features.  The grounds of this Youth Hostel extend to the shores of Lake Wastwater, England’s deepest lake.

The works involved sensitive repair works as part of ongoing maintenance to the fabric of the building.  All works were undertaken using traditional materials and techniques with McGrath Associates managing and specifying the works with ongoing approval of the hostel owner, The National Trust.

On the strength of the success of the works McGrath Associates have been appointed on the next phase of the works planned for this financial year.
