Mango Homes, Restoring Historic Buildings
© Phil Bradby, Mango Homes
Mango Homes was established in 1999 by Philip Bradby to specialise in the restoration of historic buildings.
Mango's first project was the restoration of a saw mill which had been derelict for
many years -
This was followed by the conversion of Melbourne Mill also in Hebden Bridge to become
eighteen apartments. It had been derelict for over twelve years and had structural
problems.
2005 saw the restoration of an entire derelict hamlet of cottages and barns
Trowan near St Ives in Cornwall. This project received national recognition and was
reported in the Times, Observer and Telegraph and was supported by the National Trust.
In 2006, Mango went on to win the prestigious Yorkshire Renaissance award for its
restoration of a grade II listed textile mill at Pecket Well in Yorkshire.
2007 saw
the careful restoration of Ashley House in Ripon which is a large detached Italianate
built by a wealthy timber merchant in the 1870s.
In 2008 Mango completed the painstaking restoration of the Abbey Warehouse in Penzance with the support of the Heritage Lottery. The project made the national headlines with the discovery of a network 200 year old smuggler’s tunnels.

Mango is currently working on the restoration of two barns situated near to St Ives . They are surrounded by open fields and have incredible sweeping sea views. The barns will become a very impressive single home.
We are also currently renovating a terraced house near Chorlton Green, Manchester. The property will be complete and for sale very soon.
There are several other projects in the pipeline in the UK and Germany.
