New life to 4 existing cottages – Hall Court, Tallentire

Work is now well underway to remodel and renovate 4 existing cottages in Tallentire. All the properties have been completely stripped-out back to the original barn shells they originally were. Despite some impressive roof timbers the original scheme hid them all in a traditional cellular laid out plan of small pokey rooms. My scheme however opens up the layout, places the living spaces at first floor level and exposes the oak roof trusses taking advantage of the barn-like spaces available. Where possible all the living spaces are open plan and uncompromisingly modern.

The work includes new windows throughout (the photograph above shows the existing to be replaced windows), new roof, re-rendering, and the removal of far too much tarmac to the courtyard.

I shall try and keep the blog up to date as the work progresses.
