Keepers Cottage with Rosemary Clay Classic

Built as a re-creation of the two dilapidated cottages originally on the site, traditional materials were chosen to match this unique styling and reimagine the past.

When JP Whelan Homes set out to create a new Tudor-inspired cottage, in the picturesque Bough Beech Reservoir area - nestled within Kentish countryside - stunning aesthetics were at the top of the list of priorities.

For this reason, BMI Redland’s Rosemary Clay Classic tiles were selected. Perfectly suited to Keeper’s Cottage, Rosemary gave a classic and timeless look to the property.

The Challenge

The Challenge

For construction, the project required enough Rosemary Clay Classic tiles to tile both the main house and the double garage, along with a plethora of other materials, so logistics were never going to be simple.

The Solution

The Solution

By matching the cottage’s red brickwork with a Medium Mixed Brindle tile colour on the vertical tiling, a variable mix of medium-toned brindled clay, and a contrasting sanded Russet Mix colour on the roof, developer JP Whelan was able to create a truly striking effect. 

With BMI Redland tiles, it was possible to create a home which paid homage to its Tudor past while also enjoying a build quality only possible in modern times.
