This small but elegant stone build housing stock village with its sensitive conservation area status would provide the test bed for a new additional dwelling that would harp back to history as a polite nod but also provide a modern and inspiring house for our client’s family.

The site had a wonderful historic tree positioned centrally and also an ancient wall to the front; our proposals respected the context of this site and worked with the elements it provided. The solution was an elegant two-storey stone clad house with 5 bedrooms, bathroom and en-suites with large open plan living areas looking out onto the mature rear garden, and a cinema and study place along with a gym and swimming pool facility.
