Works are approaching completion on a contemporary extension to a Grade-II Listed house in Cranham. The modest extension has been carefully detailed to provide an exciting light filled living space. A single elongated window provides a stunning panoramic view to the north across the surrounding woodland, while a frameless rooflight joins the extension to the house, casting daylight across the natural stone wall.

High performance triple glazed doors minimize heat loss and this is coupled with exemplary levels of insulation in the walls, floor and roof. The roof awaits the installation of a sedum roof which will provide a finishing touch to the project.

As part of the project we also sensitively repaired and renovated an outbuilding to provide a work from home office, garage and store room. Our approach to sustainability applies to all aspects of the project, and this included the installation of photovoltaic (PV’s) slates on the roof. The slates provide the perfect finish to roof. They are both sensitive to the Grade-II property while also generating electricity to supply the office and house.
