The former schoolhouse conversion is a prominent Grade II* listed property that lies in the heart of the village and dates from the early 17th Century. There have been previous extensions to the historic core of the building dating first from the 1960’s and then later in the 1980’s. The new works proposed to demolish the least sympathetic 1960’s extension and replace it with a reconfigured new structure that is more considered in its relationship to the original building. A minimally detailed glazed link connects to the historic elevation and is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible enabling this facade to be viewed easily in virtual isolation. This defines a clear break and distinction between one of the most important parts of the original building and the new construction.
