Rookery Farm House

The project comprises the conversion and change of use of an existing Granary building into residential /holiday accommodation.

Materials and textures were carefully chosen to connect the design to the traditional buildings of this region of Suffolk . The internal oak frame was retained and modified to allow an open ground floor plan with a cellular division of space on the first floor. A number of existing cast iron elements, including a window and a staircase, were restored and re-instated.

The granary has a number of sustainable features including reclaimed brick, flint and oak, sourced locally, a ground source heat pump connected to an under floor heating system and water supplied and treated from a private well.
