Cotswold

Alteration to existing property, Sited in AONB, Within a Conservation Area, New Build
Guy Stansfeld Architecture LLP
710 Atlas Building , 145 City Road , London , EC1V 1AA , United Kingdom
Located on the edge of a historic Cotswold village, this beautifully reimagined home transforms a series of unsympathetic extensions into a cohesive, contemporary design. The project carefully restores and enhances the original cottage, creating a striking cruciform layout that connects the house seamlessly with its surrounding landscape. Four distinct outdoor spaces — an elegant entrance forecourt, a garden terrace with village views, a picnic lawn with fire pit, and a formal front garden — bring harmony, balance, and charm to the property. This thoughtful renovation celebrates Cotswold character while delivering modern comfort, craftsmanship, and timeless architectural appeal.
