"Built
of traditional materials, and in a Norfolk manner, this design for
a private house in Burnham Norton displays extensive reference in
its interiors to the Arts & Crafts movement, yet also harbours
a teasing modernity."
Editor, Norfolk Architect
A
partnership between Stephanie and Richard Worsley, architect Nicholas
Hills and builder Christopher Geering proved successful in the creation
of a house which has recently won a Norfolk Society award
The
axially planned interior provides a raised drawing room at half-landing
level (with a view of the marsh) which is approached by a bifurcating
staircase flanked by two-storey height bookcases.
The
West Norfolk Draft Character Statement for Burnham Norton has singled
out the new work in the Conservation Area as being "memorable
for one outstanding neo-vernacular house, recently completed. St.
Anthony's Cottage, a sizeable L-shaped house in flint and red brick
with dormers has an impressive wing with a cruciform pattern of square
chalk blocks, tumbled brickwork and large bullseye window. The bold
design and strongly defined details make a significant contribution
to this part of the Conservation Area."
