This period property had a dark and impractical ground floor layout and lost much of its back garden due to extensions added over time.
The clients’ vision permitted the demolition of all extensions allowing for a major overhaul of the internal layout as well as the optimum siting of new accommodation, reestablishing the southern garden aspect.
A new single storey side extension provides a study, family room, utility, cloakroom and replacement kitchen and family room. The clients' request for a contemporary design was met with a courtyard layout that takes in the views of an existing mature tree. The generous high ceilings have allowed for the design of 2.6m high windows which establish new visual links to the garden and through the building. The new extension will be completed in white render with a butterfly zinc roof.
