A complete re-configuration, in a setting that deserved it.

With glass all around and the light streaming in from the lantern above one feels transplanted into the world of Constable and Gainsborough.

A complete re-configuration

An understated late 1970s build delivers everything for the owners. A change of home and location was the chance to take a tired property back to the frame and rebuild it properly. Delightfully positioned on the banks of the river stour, this chalet style house simply demanded that the views be taken into account.

Glass, light and landscape

The rear of the property has been developed into the modern, open-plan kitchen, dining, living area with each angle revealing a different aspect. South facing, the glass box like extension offers one of the most time wasting views we have ever come across, one could simply sit and gaze all day, whatever the weather. That is the essence of the genius of this extension, the sliding doors allow for easy access and wide open air and light during warm summer months and noiseless warmth in the winter.

Ventilation, windows and balcony

In addition to the sliding doors, we have added tilt and turn uPVC windows to increase ventilation during the summer. These are complemented by uPVC casements throughout and capped off by a handsome juliette balcony to the main bedroom overlooking the view and the roof lantern.
