Design and Build Beverley
At Waxwing, we deliver architect-led house extensions, building conservation, and specialist joinery in Beverley and the East Riding of Yorkshire. We are experienced in working with East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the Minster conservation area, and the particular demands of Beverley's outstanding historic fabric.
We are based in York, approximately 30 miles from Beverley. We take on selected projects here where the heritage quality of the property or the nature of the brief is well suited to our specialist expertise.
A medieval townscape that demands the right contractor
Beverley is one of the finest market towns in England. The Minster dominates the skyline and the streets running off the market places - North Bar Within, Highgate, Lairgate all contain one of the most complete sequences of Georgian townhouses outside Bath or Edinburgh.
Working on properties in and around Beverley's conservation area requires genuine understanding of heritage materials, planning sensitivity, and the specific expectations of East Riding of Yorkshire Council's conservation team.
We approach Beverley projects with the same care and expertise we bring to historic work across North Yorkshire - traditional materials, considered design, and proper engagement with the heritage framework from the first conversation.

The Beverley planning and heritage context
Beverley falls within the East Riding of Yorkshire Council area. The council has a well-regarded conservation team with detailed knowledge of the town's heritage - the Beverley Conservation Area Appraisal sets out clear expectations for development within the designated area.
Beyond the conservation area, Beverley has a substantial stock of late Victorian and Edwardian residential development to the north and west of the town centre. Outside the most sensitive heritage zones and offering more straightforward planning contexts for extension and renovation work.
