Extension to rural house near Sellindge, Kent

Client: Private

Contractor: Jenner (Contractors) Ltd, Folkestone

 

Situated in a beautiful, tranquil location in the Kent countryside, the project involved the creation of a bespoke extension to transform a traditional rural detached house in contemporary style. Careful design enabled the architects to win planning consent for a 150 per cent extension to the existing building.

 

The design uses traditional rural materials, such as green oak cladding, in a contemporary way to create a subtle intervention that marries old with new successfully.

 

The building was designed to the client's individual requirements, right down to the furniture fittings and joinery details, resulting in a building that feels like a very personal creation.
