Greystones Cottage is in a small village on the edge of the Cotswolds. The clients were using the cottage mainly for weekends – but wanted to make it somewhere they could live more permanently.		As part of the process an existing well under the conservatory was made safe. The new roof is matching slate with a large conservation rooflight let into the shallow pitch. The kitchen was gutted., opened up and refitted.

The brief was to replace the tumbledown conservatory and make a house extension that would harmonize with the existing stone cottage (previously extended in the 1980s) to create a light, spacious kitchen/dining area with good views to the surrounding garden and fields.		The result from the inside is a large, light, modern space in an 18th century cottage - so the clients have the best of both worlds. From the outside the extension blends harmoniously with the original stone cottage set in a beautiful garden.
