Norfolk Cottage

Norfolk, Historic Building, Remodelling, Renovation, and Extension

MSJ provided a full architectural, structural and party wall service for the renovation and extension of this historic cottage in Norfolk.

Leo Cottage, a 300 year old cottage, was reconfigured and converted into a comfortable holiday home; in full keeping with Norfolk’s architecture but cognisant of its sensitive rural location.

Against this backdrop, MSJ delivered a dynamic and innovative building, interspersing the walls of restored original chalk with new cedar and flint, all sliced out with sharp windows and doors frames, covered by the reassuring hat of Norfolk pantiles. Fitted with modern services and rooted into its surroundings, it re-emerged as a warm and cosy but robust home, well suited for its often harsh surroundings.
