Manor Hall Centre for Trauma

Doune

Opening in 2015, Manor Hall is a 26-bed residential treatment facility that specialises in the assessment and treatment of psychological trauma. This Category B-listed building which dates back to 1820 has been sensitively renovated. We worked closely with the Local Authority Conservation Officer to ensure that all aspects of the external fabric and internal renovations are sympathetic to the original building. Detailed Conservation Method Statements were agreed as each stage of the project with key internal features being retained and restored: – decorative plasterwork, fireplaces, feature staircase, timber paneling and stain glass windows. The ground floor contains the main public rooms, including dining room, cinema/group therapy room and lounge, a self-contained six-bed unit located in the former orangery – which gives direct access to the gardens – along with two bedsit units, which are designed to help residents gain further independence. Other facilities include a multi-gym and a rehabilitation kitchen facility.
