Project: Abbot House - West Street; Location: West Street, St Neots; Type: Rear two-storey extension to period home; This late nineteenth century, detached, corner plot, brick house has period features, a single storey out house and a conservatory to the rear. The house is set within the town of St Neots within the conservation area and required a design that was sensitive to the premises and the location whilst fulfilling the brief set out by the client. The development included a single storey side extension and a two storey double extension. The conservatory was removed in order to create an accessible wet room and a large west facing sun room on the ground floor. Upstairs, the bedroom has been extended to include an en suite and a dressing room. The design maximises the site area. The materials complement the existing fabric and includes the use of buff grey bricks and a slate roof. Red brick will be used in the detailing of the extension to reflect the existing decorative red banding on the property. The design ensures the internal spaces are bright and warm, and as much daylight as possible is captured and enjoyed.
