Planning Permission Granted - Parkfield House

Planning permission received for an exciting new extension to a Grade-II Listed cottage in Chalford, near Stroud. The design will provide a large glazed extension built into the hillside, offering uninterrupted views across the valley.

The existing cottage will be renovated and repaired to restore its traditional charm and character, complemented by the contemporary extension to create an exciting mix of old and new. The original cottage was recently listed by Historic England, resulting in an eyecatching design which conceals the extension from view to preserve the setting to the cottage, while also maximising natural daylight and providing beautiful views across France Lynch, Chalford.

Pre-Application discussions with Stroud District Council helped shape and develop the design. A new partially subterranean garage will hide vehicles from view and preserve the picturesque setting to the cottage. The extension and garage will both have a green roof, blending into the surrounding field. High performance windows and doors combine with natural Cotswold stone to provide an exciting new open plan living space which connects through to the original cottage. The cottage retains its traditional proportions and features, while renovations throughout will provide a comfortable and restored traditional Cotswold cottage.
