The Headcorn Project Stable Block





One of the elements of our Headcorn project is the renovation of the stable block.

As you can see from the pictures above a new roof is required along with a definite improvement in general appearance.

We will be re-pitching the roof to an 'up and over style' with two Kent hips. This has required us to add two additional block levels to the height of the building.

The roof structure will be made from a tannelised softwood while the roof itself will be given an authentic appearance with the use of cedar shingles.

We plan to address the 'look' of the building by re-cladding it in a softwood weatherboard and will be installing new Iroco hardwood doors and frames. A bespoke cedar greenhouse will also be built and attached to one side of the stables.
