Project Info
We were contracted to demolish the existing derelict farm workers cottage and provide a replacement three bedroom cottage and double garage.
The existing cottage was built into the chalk bank at the rear of the property. A bulk excavation of around 500 tons of chalk was removed and the existing chalk bank was reduced and regraded leaving a flat site.
The replacement cottage was a traditional build using clay brick and flint blocks under a pitched clay tile roof. Heating and hot water was provide by an oil fired aga and solar heating . A new sewage treatment plant was also installed.
The project was completed one time to the high specification required.
