Peter and Christine Rodgers took on the project in 2007 and are still working on it! Next stage is an extension, for which planning permission was received in 2012.
We are in the early planning / costing stage for the restoration of a C16 Suffolk farmhouse and I came across your site.
What a fantastic project. It looks amazing.
Our local conservation officer was very supportive of most of our plans but I would love to hear your thoughts about the planning process and how to avoid unnecessary delays.
In fact I have a million and one questions but perhaps you would indulge just one or two.
With a young family we don’t have the luxury of time but do have access to some exceptional craftsmen.
Happy to discuss. Not sure what the securest way is to exchange phone numbers, as this is a public site. Perhaps if you email me on peterdrodgers@yahoo.co.uk?
Hi Peter and Chris
Gosh, I thought you would be relaxing in your retirement!!! what a lovely blog and so much hard work gone into making it such a beautiful place.
I hope you both and the children had a lovely Christmas and wishing you a happy and peacful New Year.
I am still working at Chigwell School and really enjoying it – don’t miss the commute into the City!!
