Little Bere Cottage

Little Bere Cottage

Contemporary cantilevered extension in a palette of flint and weathering steel

Little Bere Farmhouse is a Grade II Listed 17th Century Cottage in the South Downs National Park. The cottage had suffered previously from haphazard, ill-considered extensions and alterations, leading to a confused and cramped home. Through minor internal alterations, we were able to restore and highlight the features of the historic cottage, while the addition of a contemporary kitchen extension, provides a connection to the garden and pool. One which allows the building’s rich history to be understood and appreciated.
