Heath Cottage, Amberley, Stroud

Planning permission granted for the extension and renovation of a traditional Cotswold cottage in Amberley, near Nailsworth, Stroud. The design uncovers the original Cotswold stone cottage, revealed in historical photos, and extends to provide a four bedroom property and new kitchen dining space. Natural stone, lime render and zinc combine in a design which carefully balances old and new, restoring the original cottage, while adding a sympathetic new contemporary extension.

 
 

A double gable design is connected by a feature central rooflight which brings natural daylight into the first floor. The existing cottage is thermally upgraded throughout, including new windows and doors, as well as internal wall insulation, roof and floor to reduce energy consumption and provide year round comfort. Construction will begin on site in Spring 2024.
