House Plans: Traditional Stone Cottage Self-Build

Harriet and Rob Graham’s plans to renovate a derelict cottage were cut short when they discovered that the structure’s foundations were unsound. Instead, their project became a rebuild, using the original stone to preserve the previous property’s heritage character.

The Grahams’ completed cottage looks every bit the renovated building it was supposed to be thanks to the recycled original sandstone, the detailed workmanship and natural slate. But it’s the glazed hipped roofs that really catch the eye.
