Warnford Corner Alton Road West Meon Hampshire GU32 1JG
We would like to replace our 4 x1900's softwood windows which are in a state of non repair. Which are not traditional cottage windows as they have a top opener above two side centre opening casements, with traditional hardwood thin (18mm) double glazed cottage windows with no top opening, on the front upper elevation of Warnford Corner, which would be the same windows as we have already replaced on the 1st floor gable end of the property, with the permission of Listed Buildings Winchester Council, and SDNP.We would also need to replace the wall hung handmade clay peg tiles on the front elevation of the house with similar wall hung handmade clay peg tiles, as these would need to come off to fit the new windows, and also put a new breathable waterproof barrier and insulation in order to keep the elements out. Most of the tiles would be broken in their removal as a lot of them have been cemented on over the years, and would mostly break during removal. I will source the replacement tiles from a reputable reclamation yard and endeavour to replace with a more age related handmade clay peg tile closer to the 1750 age of the property. Making them more in keeping with the look of the existing property. Alternatively i can use Keymer hand made clay tiles as suggested by Daniel Ayre from Historic Environment Department at Winchester City Council, in a conversation we had regarding this matter.
