Borough Farm, King Stanley, Stroud

Borough Farm has just completed on site, adding a contemporary single storey extension to the Grade-II Listed property. Borough Farm is an impressive three storey Cotswold vernacular property in King Stanley, near Stroud. Natural zinc, stone and dark slates combine in a design which is both sympathetic to the original property while adding a light filled living space which opens to the picturesque garden. Large sliding glass doors, together with a series of rooflights help to ventilate the space. The careful adaptation of the property will provide a lifetime home for our clients, including a ground floor living arrangement and inbuilt flexibility to later adapt the space as needed.

An overhaul of the existing services will also improve the long term efficiency of the property. High levels of insulation to the walls, floor, and roof help to retain heat, while underfloor heating throughout the extension will act as a heat sink to the original historic property helping to reduce long terms running costs.
