Nestled among orchards in the popular village of Sudbourne in Suffolk is Heron Cottage, an idyllic pair of cottages that have been immaculately restored in a pared-back palette to create one large house that speaks to the traditions of old Suffolk. The house is surrounded by a collection of individually designed outbuildings; a library and studio, a 'think shed', a potting shed, hay barn and wood store that are each crafted for their purpose. Sitting in a bucolic two-acre plot, the buildings have been designed with simplicity, truth to materials and a gentle way of life in mind.
