Extension to Grade 2* Home
The work to this Grade II* Listed farmhouse involved a new first floor extension over an existing Victorian ground floor extension to the original house.
The work to this Grade II* Listed farmhouse involved a new first floor extension over an existing Victorian ground floor extension to the original house.
The original house was a hall house, with a long valley gutter running through the centre of the roof plan. The new extension sought to extend this form of the building. The new accommodation provided a master bedroom and en-suite, along with a secondary staircase into the new suite. The house was broken through to at 1st floor level into an existing bedroom, which now forms a dressing room. The new structure is a timber frame and clad in brick, this enabled a faster construction, whilst also preserving the aesthetic of the building. New bespoke windows were made and a new plain tile roof and lead valley were laid. A number of repairs were also undertaken, to both the existing timber frame and brickwork. The cellar was brought back into use and new services were introduced.









Whitworth is pleased to have completed phase one of the reordering works at All Saints Church in Stanton, near Bury St Edmunds. This is a project focused on helping this much-loved historic building continue to serve its community for generations to come.
In 2023, Whitworth was approached by our client to sympathetically carry out the conversion of an existing 1980s garage, originally built to accommodate the previous owner’s Ferrari, to a new one-bedroom annexe accommodation.
Whitworth oversaw the restoration of the historic Martello Tower in Aldeburgh, the largest of its kind from the Napoleonic Wars.
