The property is a C18 Grade II listed village home which was originally a maltings. The property was converted to residential usage in the mid C19, with the conical oast house roof being incorporated into the house. It was this section of roof that was causing concern as the tiling had started falling.
The project involved stripping the existing clumsily laid tiling, assessing the roof structure, unpicking and revising the inappropriate repairs from the 1960’s. Sheep’s wool insulation was laid between the structure and the roof was re-tiled with new handmade clay tiles.
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.
