Our holiday cottages before and after the build

Sarah Dean • March 7, 2021

Here are six photographs showing the gradual process of taking the old farmhouse down. We took the original house down slowly so that we could separate the materials and salvage as much as possible. 

These next images show the progress from the first brick being laid and six months later with the last brick! This felt like such a big milestone but the work had only just begun in terms of completing the whole project.

The finished property, minus a door! As part of the planning remit, the footprint needed to be similar to the original property so you may notice some similarities with the one story addition to the left hand side of the property.
