Sandpitts, Devon

This beautiful project was undertaken by owners Natalie Silk and Tom Baker, who restored a traditional stone house in Devon, also adding a new extension.

For the restoration, cob-wall specialist David Joyce, used a traditional mix of lime plaster and sand. The new extension, overseen by Studio Weave architects, is a wonderful compliment to the old house, with exterior cladding in wood and interior lining in wood and lime. The extension is a self-contained annex that the owners want to use as a hideaway and creative retreat/studio so that the inhabitants can make the most of the peaceful rural setting.
