Selectaglaze features at Grade II listed property

Set amid four and half acres of land stands a gorgeous Grade II Listed property in Peterborough.

It was built between 1841 and 1847 for W Lawrence Clark of the Peace for the Liberty of Peterborough and from 1901-1996, home to the Hartley family. It is where L.P Hartley penned his most famous novel ‘The Go-Between’.

The property hosted many important meetings such as the League of Nations annual meeting in 1937 - better known today as the United Nations.

After years of neglect and vandalism whilst unoccupied, a family approached the Hartley’s with an offer to buy the property and restore it as their family home.

The traditional brick building is spread over many levels, has high ceilings and a number of different sized original single glazed windows throughout the house, which rendered it thermally inefficient, cold and draughty.

It was not going to be an easy task, due to the number of different sizes and the composition of the original windows; some metal frame, some wooden. The owners were also keen to try and colour match the secondary frames to make them as unobtrusive as possible.

A total of 40 windows have been treated thus far using a selection of three window styles; hinged, sliding and lift-out, in three different colours. A number of windows with working shutters were treated with Selectaglaze’s ultra slim Series 47 hinged system which was able to sit tight behind the shutters allowing continued operation.

Established in 1966 and granted the Royal Warrant in 2004 Selectaglaze is the UK’s leading secondary glazing specialist.
