Welsh Cottage

Caer Odyn – ‘Fields of Lime’ was built in the early 1800s as a storage barn used by local farmers to store lime, which was shipped into the harbour a short distance down the road. The building was subsequently converted into two cottages and, at a later stage, into one cottage.

After purchasing the cottage in 2007, the current owners began major renovation in spring 2014. This involved a new roof, exposing the existing timber roof trusses, improved insulation to the external fabric, new windows, and a new drainage system.

The project brief was to retain and restore the original cottage feel of the property whilst providing a more modern flair and allowing more natural light into the building. We incorporated specific materials and technology within the renovations to create a more economical, more environmentally friendly home to run and maintain.
