Following a positive pre-application, Offset Architects were appointed to carry out the design, planning and Building Regulations stages for this lovely detached property set in 3 acres in the High Weald AONB. The key elements of this renovation included a single storey extension, complete removal of the roof, and reforming it over the entire, extended ground floor area. Whilst the aim was to increase the amount of usable first floor space, it was also important to ensure that the ridge height remained the same, to avoid any detrimental impact to the AONB. The external facade of the existing property has been updated to a more modern aesthetic, along with a new porched entrance which provides a welcoming and homely entry point to the property. Our clients now enjoy 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an open plan kitchen/diner and utility room, bespoke under stair wine cupboard, study, gym, sauna, and a beautiful, bright living space with full height corner glazing. We are proud to share that this project gained recognition in the Regional LABC Building Excellence Awards 2025, being crowned winner in the ‘Best Residential Extension’ category! ??
