Complete refurbishment of a Grade II Listed former school, altering the building's typology and creating a large family dwelling, in addition to incorporating a contemporary extension. This project encompassed a complete internal overhaul of the existing building, enabling the homeowners to create a seven-bedroom luxury house, with two modern living spaces.
The extension is of a steel frame and masonry construction, with vertical cedar cladding, and standing seam coated steel and felt roof. A clean minimalist finish internally to the existing building continues the property’s styling.
The extension has been carefully considered to enhance and complement the historic building and its setting, a significant planning challenge, given its listed status.
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.
