Houses in Thorpeness.
A planned holiday village laid out from 1910 around the Meare, with mock-Tudor, weatherboarded and rendered houses, the House in the Clouds and the windmill. The houses are distinctive and often lightly built, and repairing and extending them well takes care with timber, render and detail.
We are based at Heveningham, about 15 miles away, and most of our work is within this distance of the yard.
