Little Dockem Coates

Little Dockem, Coates, includes the total retrofit, renovation and extensions to an existing house in a village near Cirencester.

The Cotswold property has a new copper roof extension, with Douglas Fir timber detailing. Contemporary design combines with the traditional Cotswold vernacular, using an elegant combination of natural, durable materials. The natural copper roof finish weathers to a dark rust like finish, complementing the stone of the original cottage.

Rain chains provide a beautiful alternative to guttering at the eave of the overhanging roof, allowing water to trickle down playfully whilst it rains. An air source heat pump, solar panels and Tesla Powerwall battery have all been installed, providing a highly sustainable heating and energy solution for the property. This benefits from newly installed internal wall insulation throughout the property, creating a thermally efficient and comfortable family home.
