grafted has provided full architectural services (RIBA stage 0-3) for the sensitive refurbishment and extension of a traditional farmhouse in rural Nottinghamshire, including the removal of an existing conservatory, a replacement porch, new external insulation, and additional rooflights. Located within the Morton conservation area, the existing building had been subject to multiple unsympathetic interventions and additions that detract from its historical character. The clients, a couple with young children, appointed grafted to resolve the issues with the layout and thermal insulation that have been preventing them from enjoying their family home. In our designs, the heritage features of the old small holding, such as exposed timber beams, are retained and refurbished. Poorly-executed additions like the leaky conservatory are removed and replaced with a more thermally-efficient and contemporary extension. Planning has been granted and we are currently working on RIBA Stage 4 (Tender).
