The Brief

Single-storey side extension, Frome

Following the extensive restoration of this Grade II Listed property in Frome, the owners decided to develop designs to extend part of the ground floor. A poorly built existing side extension blocked crucial light and views into the main family kitchen and needed to be replaced with something higher in quality that would enhance the property. Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent were granted for a minimalistic and contemporary glazed extension, providing an open-plan flexible living space that opened the house to the surrounding gardens, light and views.

The Challenge

Being Grade II Listed, the design and application process needed careful consideration to obtain the necessary permissions. We had to prove that all historic elements were being suitably protected and any new structures did not detract from the quality of the main building.

The Solution

Designing and obtaining permission for a highly contemporary extension, creating greatly improved internal living space with expansive garden views and light.
