Old Ullenwood Lodge, Cheltenham

Planning permission received for the residential extension, renovations and remodel of a traditional historic Cotswold vernacular house. The design replaces an existing mock historic extension to the original house with a contemporary two storey design, creating a sensitive balance between old and new.

Natural dark slates, a natural metal seamed roof and stone render combine to complement the original Cotswold stone of Ullenwood Lodge. A feature glass corner will open the kitchen / dining space to the garden, with sliding glass doors opening onto to a Juliet balcony. The material palette combines natural materials which will weather and soften in appearance to complement the historic Cotswold stone, remaining sensitive to the original house and wider Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

A range of sustainable design features will upgrade the existing house including the addition of insulated render and high performance heritage replacement windows. This will be coupled by exemplary levels of insulation to the new extension, retaining heat and reducing long term running costs, while also supporting the future installation of a more sustainable heating system.

A new Cotswold stone garage with a green roof it set below the house and built into the bank to preserve views from the first floor kitchen / dining space.
