After living in the property for several years, our Clients had a clear idea of the space needed to unlock the potential of their home. However, located within the Perranuthnoe conservation area, proposals for the single storey rear extension had to be sympathetic to the existing cottage and surrounding area.
Our brief was to create an open, bright environment containing a modern kitchen / living / dining area with large, glazed elements to maximise views of the garden and surrounding conservation area. Additionally, we were to include internal amendments to the main dwelling, creating an office space, utility, WC, formal dining area, enlarged hall and storage. Externally the project involved the addition of a carport, decked area and storage.
Situated within the rear garden, a detached store restricted options due to the central location. As such, our proposals centred around demolishing the store while retaining the attractive features and appearance with a new single storey extension, which we positioned as a screen from the public footpath. This allowed us to propose a modern, flat roof extension, hidden from view, with large sliding doors to two elevations and a glazed flat roof rooflight to maximise natural light within the space.
