This substantial site is in a prominent town centre location and comprises of Clifford Hall, an old traditional former village hall built in 1896, Beulah Baptist Church, a substantial, imposing, Victorian red brick Church built in 1898 and The Beulah Centre, built in the 1980's, a sprawling, two storey mixed use building infilled between and linking Clifford Hall and the main Church building.

Due to the increased volume of users and demands on the buildings over the years the client was finding the current arrangements were no longer fit for purpose and decided to embark on a major program of improvements to bring the buildings up to a modern, contemporary standard with improved accessibility.

We were approached by our client to provide a complete design and build service for her new dream eco home. The project was a pleasure to carry out and an opportunity to showcase some of the absolute best standards of workmanship combining high tech renewable energy systems and traditional joinery skills.

As an active local environmental issue’s campaigner, our client was extremely motivated to create a beautiful, comfortable home for life that complied with her principals on respect for the environment, sustainability and efficient, considered use of resources.

The design brief was for a high quality, modern, energy efficient and comfortable home constructed following the best sustainable building practices. Being located on a nature reserve and a site of special scientific interest it was important to the client to look settled in its environment like it has always been there.

We were asked to provide a design and build solution for our clients to substantially increase the size of their beautiful, very old former game keepers cottage in the countryside outside of Robertsbridge.

The brief was to retain the character and traditional Sussex weatherboard style to the outside but integrate large, vaulted ceiling extensions to each end of the house. An interesting job that used steel portal frames to create the large, glazed areas and spacious living and bedroom accommodation.

We were privileged to enjoy this rare opportunity to work for a local farmer and landowner to rebuild a little piece of history with this long forgotten and dilapidated former hop pickers cottage on the banks of Bewl Water.

From the early 1900's families would travel from London for a working holiday in the countryside to bring in the hop harvest. Accommodation was provided by the farmers in the form of extremely basic cottages with bunk beds. The whole family worked through the day picking hops in exchange for bed and board and were generally paid in locally brewed beer!

This lovely little cottage makes a stunning addition to our client’s rural holiday rental portfolio and means people can enjoy the seclusion of the beautiful sussex coutryside once again.

An exciting project to be involved in that started out as an outbuilding conversion into a guest annex however the client was so pleased with the standard of work we were asked to carry out further extensions, extensive rennovation, fiting out and major landscaping works at our clients beautiful home in rural Ticehurst.
