The work brings together traditional materials and modern construction, with the new extension designed to complement the existing stone building and support a more spacious, comfortable lifestyle.

Energy performance is also central to the project. Underfloor heating and an air source heat pump will provide efficient, consistent warmth throughout the home, with solar panels and battery storage to follow as the work progresses.

Once complete, the property will combine the character and solidity of the original cottage with a carefully planned extension, improved comfort and renewable energy technology designed for modern living.
