The cottage is an attractive end of terrace Grade II Listed property located in old Martlesham. The current owners were outgrowing this pretty 2 bedroom cottage and approached us with an idea of adding a side extension to create a Wetroom, additional Bedroom and to replace their existing Kitchen. To avoid the first floor bathroom window, we designed a glazed link which was set back and below the line of the roof of the proposed extension. The glazed link visually separates the extension allowing it to be read as an outbuilding to the property. By lightly touching the original house it reduces the impact to the setting of the Listed Building, and in turn creates a light-filled main entrance area (a real sense of arrival), meaning the old porch could be demolished.
