Initial plans for the restoration....


Our initial plans were to significantly extend the property but as we read and researched the property and its construction we began to realise that our extension plans would actually destroy what we had spent so long looking for......




At the same time it had to be a family home which made some form of extension inevitable and we are fairly settled on a single storey extension to the north side of the cottage. We will use the window opening in the rear extension to make a doorway into the new extension which will not impact further on the integrity of the existing house.



The size of the extension will be kept in proportion to the rest of the cottage whilst still giving us an adequate size room for a kitchen. The Biggest compromise we are making is extending to the north which will limit sunlight, but the views are a compensartion point....
