To build a 3 bedroom single story extension with two new bathrooms, kitchen/dining room, kids den, study & utility. Full renovation of existing thatched property. The main objective was to retain the character of the cottage and contrast with light, modern extension beyond.
This project is a treasure chest of outstanding features and was an absolute pleasure working with such fantastic designs and ideas. This property is 300 y/o with a beautiful thatched roof. This project was fitted with a ground source heat pump resulting in no gas required to the property, there is an MVHR system installed. The new extension is clad with black Siberian larch and fully knapped field flint and dark mortar which really compliments the exiting thatched cottage. The cinema room boasts a hidden cinema screen that comes down from the ceiling using a remote control. All blinds are electric and all electrics are state of the art Lutron fittings. The cottage toilet has been fitted with a heated wall. The mezzanine children’s play den has been fitted with a modern glass balustrade and LED strip lights built into the wall and plastered to create futuristic lighting. The main bathroom has an iroko clad cistern wall making it an outstanding focal point of the property. The study is fitted with bespoke handmade furniture made in house.
