We’re pleased to have recently secured Planning Approvals for two house alterations projects in Monmouthshire, and Wiltshire, local authorities. Our clients in Monmouthshire occupy a 1990s home which originally replaced farm buildings, commanding some wonderful views across the Brecon hills, however some remodelling and energy improvements are needed to get the social heart of this family home working properly, to connect properly with its garden, and maximise those views. Introducing a new access route re-orients the entrance, unlocking the plan as well as bringing in daylight through the hallway.
?In Wiltshire, the clients wanted to extend, future-proof and create a forever family home out of an early 1900s house set within a large beautiful garden. A double-storey gable extension, sympathetic to the character of the house, has been introduced to create a sociable hub for family life, and to cultivate a better connection with the outdoors and views across the garden while improving the overall spatial organisation at ground floor and enlarging the master bedroom. Improvement to the thermal fabric will be implemented, alongside switching to a heat pump, improving the home’s overall energy performance and comfort levels.?
