14th Century Grade II listed Sussex Farmhouse

14th Century Grade II listed Sussex Farmhouse

Project Description:

We were commissioned to extend and remodel this delightful Grade II Listed farmhouse in the Sussex countryside. Our scheme sought to sympathetically remodel the property, both internally and externally to provide the desired additional accommodation, but also appropriate in scale and proportion to ensure a sympathetic relationship with the original late 14th Century Hall House. The proposed scheme has been designed to draw upon the traditional Sussex architectural language of the existing house, with its deep sprocketed eaves, exposed rafter feet and cat slide roofs. The use of high-quality materials such as handmade bricks and vertical clay tile hanging under a series of simple clay tiled roofs ensures a cohesive yet harmonious evolution of the building while dispensing with the inappropriate dormers and white plastic windows and replace with more traditional painted timber elements.
