Beech Cottage, Bisley, Stroud

Beech Cottage nears completion with only the external landscaping remaining to the house. Works can now begin on the nearby outbuilding to provide a workshop and studio.

The house includes a range of unique light filled spaces, which frame the stunning views across the valley. The exterior and interior share the same attention to detail and we worked closely with the client and contractor to develop the design of each space to achieve an exceptional quality of finish. This involves careful choice of materials to provide exciting and vibrant living spaces.

The high levels of thermal insulation throughout the house, including the upgrade of the historic cottage, meant an air source heat pump could be installed to work with optimal efficiency. The new pump supplies the underfloor heating system throughout the house, as well as providing hot water. This means the house can be sustainably heated, switching away from an oil fed boiler, while also reducing consumption and energy costs.
