The new oak framed Porch and staircase have an emphasis on verticality and craftsmanship and bring light into the heart of the home. The First Floor extension accommodates a new Master Bedroom and en-suite, whose interior is animated by playful use of shape and colour. The front elevation has been rendered and insulated to enhance the thermal performance of the property.
