Proposal for a new three-bedroom dwelling within the curtilage of an existing estate, responding to the historic grain and rural setting.
The proposed home balances a cottage-like character with contemporary expression, referencing nearby red-brick cottages through a sympathetic material palette, pitched roofs, and an articulated chimney, while introducing large openings, open-plan living, and modern detailing.
