STREAMSIDE.

Starting Streamside

We have just recently laid foundations in preparation for a large extension to ‘Streamside’, a little barn situated in the small isolated hamlet of Middlewood in Cornwall. We have also built the blockwork up to floor level and cast the concrete floor slab. The design detail for this is going to be timber frame so currently we are off site whilst the carpenters erect all the timber work and get the roof in place. Once they have finished their job we will be back on site constructing all the stonework for the external walls and landscaping. We will keep you posted as the work proceeds.

Streamside is a barn that we converted a few years ago, although a small barn in comparision to most, more than two thirds of the external walls had to be rebuilt during this first phase. In the meantime you can see what we did here if you click this link.

MONUMENTAL GATEWAY.

Monumental Gateway

Here’s an interesting little project we carried out a few years ago. We were nominated by Plymouth City Council to carry out the complete reconstruction of a Grade II listed monumental gateway at Lockyer’s Quay in Plymouth, Devon.

This link will take you back to our main website telling you what was involved. There you will also find a link to the original archeologists report detailing its full history.

DATESTONE.

2009

A datestone is typically a stone embedded in a building or structure with the date of its engraving. Some may also have additional information carved into them. All datestones have a story to tell and the story behind this particular datestone would require a far bigger piece of granite than this to tell it!

You can read all about it by following this link.
