Four-year, £4m project turns grade II building into day house for pupils

Walters & Cohen has unveiled the results of a four-year project to create new space in which day pupils at Canterbury’s independent King’s School can relax and socialise.

The £4m project has seen the transformation of a “dilapidated but charming” grade II-listed building at the school into a day house for non-boarders.
