Acclaimed architecture and planning consultants

As a leading architectural practice in Little Chalfont we were instructed by the client to provide a sympathetic extension design in Little Chalafont. This restoration, of a modest two bedoom cottage housed a growing family. Our aim was to increase living accommodation whilst maintaining the existing street character, respecting neigbhouring properties and sunlight provision. 

The Arts and Crafts movement was an international trend in the decorative and fine arts that developed earliest and most fully in the British Isles and subsequently spread across the British Empire and to the rest of Europe and America..

Following on from the First World War, Little Chalfont saw a dramatic increase in development. Georgenesque villas of Nightingales Lane and Burtons Lane followed on from the newly created transport links to London. Latimer Station, a thriving hub drove investment and central to this was Village Way, no more than a stones throw from the vibrant country mainline station.

Luckily most of its character remains, though some interesting properties were lost during a weak period of lacklusture planning enfocement. What remains, thankfully is a mix of thatched and tiled villas and grand family homes that reflect the best of these times.

The building works involved constructing a large open planned ground floor extension to the property. Close attention was paid to the historic detailing of the property and its existing character. The complete renovation including electrical and plymbng, improvements in slar and energy efficiency, a new kitchen and decorating throughout. 

We also included as part of the project a large 4.5m x 8m external incidental space for entertaining, revised bedroom accommodation and
