After starting our family in Brighton over seven years ago, in 2017 we decided that it was time to make the change from city life and find somewhere in rural Sussex to bring up our two children.  It didn’t take us long to find Springles Barn and instantly fell in love with the garden and location.  There was a dwelling onsite that would have once been a farm store, and then developed into a small studio, but had fallen into disrepair and needed a complete renovation. We knew we wanted to share this lovely space as a holiday home and so the Springles Cottage project began.  Lots of thought went into how we could future proof the building, ensuring its sustainability.  One of the main challenges was switching from oil to an air-source and ground-source heating system.  With a great building and architect team, we have created a lovely boutique holiday house that is sympathetic to it’s surroundings.
