Planning permission has been granted for an extension to a Grade-II Listed traditional Cotswold cottage in the Chalford Conservation Area, Stroud.
Pre-Application consultation with the Local Authority Conservation Officer helped to develop the design of the extension, carefully positioned to the rear of the house and largely screened from view.
The new extension will add essential living space to the cottage, to support multi generational living, providing two new bedrooms and an ensuite. Timber cladding and a natural zinc roof contrast the original stone of the cottage. As natural materials they will weather and soften in appearance to complement the Cotswold stone of the cottage. A feature bay window also provides an elevated view across the Golden Valley to the south. Solar panels are concealed within the valley of the property, providing electricity to the cottage.
