The project brief was to design a house that wasnt too large, but well proportioned rooms with quality living space down stairs. There were two cottages which needed to be knocked into one and extensions built on all four sides including a two storey rear, a side orangery, a front porch and side extensions to include boots rooms and study.
The building inside was completed gutted with all internal chimneys and walls removed and new foundations cast and wall repositioned with a central staircase where the party wall was.
