Period Cottage with New Oak-Frame Porch

The completed exterior of a white-rendered period cottage — 'Queen Victoria Cottage' by its slate nameplate — with a new green oak-frame porch on a brick base, dark-framed windows, a natural slate roof, a lead-clad dormer and a gravel drive with fresh planting.

Exterior work like this ties a whole-property project together: the oak porch and brick steps are built to sit comfortably against a period elevation, and the render, roof and joinery are finished so the house reads as one considered whole.
