We were approached by our clients in 2021 to design a new build house located in a rural Wiltshire village overlooking the North Wessex Downs. The plot of land came with an existing dilapidated early 20th century cottage, several outhouses and benefited from a large garden. The project brief was to divide this site into two plots, renovate the existing cottage and construct a separately accessed new build 3-bedroom family home. The new house was sensitively designed to minimise the effect on neighbouring properties, whilst taking advantage of the beautiful south-easterly views over the North Wessex Downs.
