Steve and Heidi purchased Quince Cottage in 2016. Quince was a small two bedroom bungalow (…not a cottage), built in the 1950’s within the conservation area of Stourpaine.
Planning was granted for a ‘subtle contemporary’ makeover/extension application in 2016. Steve, Heidi and Mae moved into a static caravan sited in the front garden (thanks to Sam Stanley) and immediately began extension and conversion works. BIG thanks to Roger Bramfield, Sam Purcell, Geb White, Kev Gillies, Dave Christopher and Adam Gale who contributed massively to the works.
The property now has four bedrooms (two en‐suite), a home office (SJW assoc. HQ), a largely glazed rear elevation to maximise solar gain, solar PV and Herschel infrared heating.
Works are ongoing….but getting there…
