Bungalow Conversion
The Cottage is located in rural Suffolk, and before works began was a 3-bedroom bungalow. The works comprised partial demolition and a rebuild to create a spacious 2-storey family house, with a remodelled ground floor layout.

There is a large kitchen-diner incorporating a hand-built oak staircase. The living room has been expanded, and there is a fireplace which opens up into both the living room and the kitchen. Upstairs, there are 4 bedrooms and a large family bathroom off a central landing.
The property is fitted with underfloor heating on the 1st floor, and all the heating is supplied via a ground source heat pump. Thick sheep’s wool insulation has been used in some of the roof voids, and Pavatherm cladding has been used on the existing walls that were not demolished to add insulation to the property. This helps to ensure a high level of insulation throughout the property. The property has been fully upgraded to meet current Building Regulations.
Oak joinery has been fitted throughout, and the building is finished with a lime render.










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.
