Project background

The clients owned a Victorian schoolhouse on a sizable plot. For some years they had their eye on another plot in the village with lovely views which would allow them to downsize. The plan was to use the funds from the plot in their existing garden and the sale of their own house to fund the project.

The south elevation has great views over the lower end of the village

By designing on a curved floor plan the architect was able to embrace the view over the field below

Having previously lived in a large Victorian house the client wanted to bring lots of natural light into the rooms

Oak frame naturally creates characterful spaces in new houses that could otherwise be bland

These sling braced oak frames draw the eye upwards and create a greater sense of height

The back of the house has been used for the more functional rooms such as cloakroom and utility room as these get less light

The open plan layout at this level creates a very social space with the kitchen and breakfast room, lounge and study all within sight of each other
