Phase 1 of the development at Summer Hill is now complete. This consists of a new house for the owners which incorporates some elements of the historic building. The picture shows the building from the west with the new copper-clad extension providing a first floor living space. Phase 2 will involve the conversion of the original Georgian house, the completion of exterior painting to unify the building colour and the finishing of external works.
