Green Cottage

Green Cottage has recently reached completion. We worked closely with the contractor to negotiate the steep site and provide two new extensions at the side and rear of the historic cottage. The two storey side extension provides a new kitchen opening onto the terrace. A new master bedroom at first floor benefits from a Juliet balcony to appreciate the stunning views across the valley.

The glazed single storey extension provides a garden room with high performance glazing to retain heat and provide year round comfort and use of the space. The use of natural materials including Larch timber cladding and natural zinc means they will age and weather, recording the history of the building, and complementing the natural stone of the original historic cottage.
