From fire-damaged ruins to a beautifully restored cottage full of character — this project has been an incredible journey from start to finish. 🔥➡️🏡
What started as two heavily fire-damaged coastal cottages, with collapsed roofs, extensive structural damage and years of deterioration, has now been carefully brought back to life by the team at South West Heritage & Developments Ltd.
Every stage of this restoration came with its own challenges — stabilising the existing structure, clearing fire damage, rebuilding roof sections, restoring traditional features and completely transforming the interiors while still respecting the history and character of the original buildings.
The finished result blends traditional craftsmanship with modern living: exposed oak beams, handmade-style terracotta floors, slate finishes, bright new bathrooms and open-plan spaces designed to last for generations to come.
Projects like this are exactly why we love heritage restoration — saving buildings that many would walk away from and giving them a second life within our local communities.
A huge transformation in an unbelievable coastal location. 🌊
