This local Cheshire architecture project had many issues to be resolved, but massive extension potential to look over a large garden overlooking open countryside.
The extension houses a new kitchen with open plan lounge area and dining space, which opens out to the garden through large bi-fold doors and full height windows around a new fireplace housing a log burner.
Upstairs a new double bedroom is provided, a larger family bathroom and the master bedroom is increased in size with new ensuite and walk-through wardrobe area. A new detached double garage with work room and storage space has also been added to the side of the house.
This architect-led design is a sizeable third extension to an old semi detached cottage in open countryside where a 30% increase is the usual allowable amount. The end result is 184% bigger than the original cottage size, making it a fairly contentious planning application with in depth pre-planning discussion with the local authority.
On completion the house has more than doubled in value and has gone from a dysfunctional series of spaces with no limited views of the garden to a family home which works perfectly.
