Extension & Ancillary Accommodation, Ashbourne

This project centers on the thoughtful extension and enhancement of a traditional cottage, designed to improve the internal layout and better suit modern living while preserving the charm and character of the original home.

The proposed works include a sensitive rear extension to reconfigure and optimise the internal floor plan—enhancing natural light, flow, and functionality for everyday use. In parallel, an existing outbuilding is being converted to create a self-contained space featuring a bedroom and a garden kitchen room, ideal for guests or extended family.

The design carefully considers the setting and scale of the cottage, ensuring that all new elements sit harmoniously within the existing site. High-quality materials and detailing have been selected to reflect the character of the original buildings, while providing improved usability and connection to the surrounding garden.

This project is a celebration of rural character and modern comfort, creating a more flexible and enjoyable living environment for years to come.
