Alterations and extensions to Grade II* Georgian house

This substantial and highly attractive house has now benefited from extensive alterations, extensions and refurbishment.

The main work involved conversion of existing integral garages into a large family kitchen, the building of a new detached garage, conversion of external basement into a two storey conservatory, external redesign and general repairs.

Particular challenges were provided by the significant difference in level between the front and rear of the building and the unattractive integral garaging which detracted from the front elevation. In addition the house is in a sensitive location adjacent to the church.

The new family kitchen was refaced in ashlar stone to match the main house and symmetrical Georgian sash windows were introduced. The new detached garage was built in the style of a stable with the upper level having access from the rear at higher level. The two storey conservatory sits behind and below the church wall to cause minimal impact.

Outside, the forecourt was redesigned with a large central oval water feature with impressive fountains to drown the sound of nearby traffic.
