Abbotts Farmhouse, Widford, Essex

Works to a Grade II listed farmhouse, which included internal refurbishment and planning for a new orangery required early heritage considerations. The initial assessment surveyed the quality and character of many original timber beams and windows, noting later additions as being areas where change would be possible. Planning permission for the upgrade of the existing timber framed windows from single to double glazing was gained, as the Council treated the project as the test case for upgrading to double glazed windows for the Borough as a whole.
