Eternit Clay Tiles Come Home To Roost
Only Eternit Building Materials could supply the complete range of natural clay plain tiles and fittings for an ornate roof for a house, called "The Roost".
The Arts and Crafts-style house, "Meota", which was most recently used as a music school, has been restored and adapted to create two spacious apartments.
New, three reception-roomed homes, including three two-bedroomed linked cottages, have also been built in the same style in the 1.38-acre grounds.
In addition, "The Lodge", a three-bedroomed detached house, was designed to nestle into the surrounding landscape, with lowered eaves, small dormers and sweeping roof.

Natural clay plain tiles from Eternit Building Materials have been used on the roofs and walls of a mixture of townhouses and apartments by the design-led developer Swan Hill Homes.
A block of eight two-bedroomed apartments features a secure underground car park, with three suites on the ground and first floors and two on the second floor, and traditional architectural features such as angled corner bays and oriel windows.
Working to a brief to retain the Arts and Crafts style of "Meota" and harmonise the new homes with both that and other prominent Avenue houses, Jarvis Homes also had to consider the emphasis placed on the detailing and character of the area because of its Conservation Area status.
K and R Roofing Contractors used a mixture of 75% Aylesham, 20% Chelwood and 5% Ashurst with Bullnose ornamentals and vertical external corner tiles for the tile hanging with the single-cambered Ashdowne range.
For the machine-made Acme range on the roofs they used 75% Burnt Flame, 20% Red Smooth and 5% Natural Orange with granny bonnet hips and mortared half-round ridges.
Graham Pepperdine, Jarvis Homes' new homes development surveyor, said: "The brief included the need to use high-quality, traditional materials and the quality and range of products offered by Eternit enabled this brief to be met.
"We have specified Eternit products for a number of years, maintain a range of the their literature and samples in our product library and when required, call upon the assistance of their sales representative."
