Hartfield, East Sussex

Demolition of Existing House and Construction of New Build Home

Summary:

Located in the Hartfield countryside, this ongoing project involves the demolition of the existing house and the construction of a new, traditionally styled home. Drawing on classic Sussex detailing, the design pairs high-quality materials with carefully considered proportions to create a property of warmth, character, and enduring quality.

The new home is being crafted to sit naturally within its rural setting, with every element specified to reflect both place and longevity.

Specification:

  • Full demolition of the existing dwelling followed by the complete build of a new country home.
  • Use of handmade imperial bricks to deliver depth, texture, and authenticity to the elevations.
  • Local natural sandstone plinth course forming a robust and attractive base to the external walls.
  • Carefully constructed splayed brick arches adding architectural refinement and craftsmanship to openings.
  • Keymer handmade clay tiles to the roof coverings and vertical tiling, creating a cohesive and traditionally inspired external envelope.
  • Purpose-made traditional timber sash windows, designed to bring elegance, proportion, and period-appropriate detail to the façades.
  • Ongoing site-wide coordination.
