Stone Cottage Bury St Edmunds
The jury were delighted with this architect’s family house, crafted with modest resources and a degree of self-build, but creating a characterful, poetic new lease of life for a former four-room labourer’s cottage. A crumbly flint-walled cottage has been stabilised, opening up the house to incredible landscape views that had been ignored.
