Cotswold Cottage Extension

Chedworth, Cotswolds

This contemporary cottage extension to a detached period property in Chedworth has transformed the living space to provide extensive views to the attractive gardens, with a sheltered and shaded seating area created below a projecting canopy. A built in bookcase was integrated into the side wall to create the perfect place to sit and relax with a book whilst enjoying the view.

The cottage with modern extension added to the rear creates a cosy place to sit in the evening whilst feeling connected with the garden.
The contemporary extension includes a canopy extending out over a sitting area with steps rising up to the garden level.
Timber boarding to the soffit of the canopy creates texture and contrast with the internal ceiling finish.
A built in bookcase was included to create the perfect space to sit with a good book whilst admiring the attractive gardens.
Modern extensions to cottages can often be very simple in their design. In this case an existing conservatory was replaced with a contemporary design of a similar footprint.
The elevations were designed to be simple and sympathetic to the existing period cottage.
