Project Description
A sensitive grade 2 Listed property that required traditional and sympathetic repairs, de-conversion and part reconstruction providing an outstanding cottage as part of the let estate. Natural and traditional products were used for example the lime wash external decoration and lambs’ wool loft insulation.
A complete new oil fired energy efficient boiler and efficient wood burning stove were installed along with secondary double glazing leaving the historic windows untouched. The energy efficiency of the cottage has increased to an E grade EPC.
The change of use permission has allowed the client the ability to market the cottage as a holiday let as part of their commercial operations. The cottage may be booked and can be found on the following link by copying and pasting into your browser:
