Site works are progressing well on the rebuild, retrofit and extension of the Grade II Listed Timbercombe Cottage in Slad. Scaffolding has just been struck, to reveal the sensitively restored Cotswold stone walls. The roof has also been rebuilt with the solid oak rafters to be exposed within and slates externally to match the original historic materials. The south facing roof is being clad in the innovative PV slates from GB Sol - these are solar panels disguised as roof slates, used in historically sensitive settings. These will generate electricity for use within the cottage throughout the year. Paint colours for woodwork and window frames are being chosen, based on the original woodwork colours from historical photographs and sample remnants discovered on site.
