Recently completed | Thatched Cottage, Dorset
We’re delighted to share this recently completed extension and comprehensive refurbishment of a traditional thatched cottage in Dorset.
Working closely with our clients, we developed a sensitive design that respects the character and heritage of the original cottage whilst creating a light, practical and contemporary family home.
Located within a Conservation Area, the project required a carefully considered approach to secure planning approval. The completed scheme includes both ground and first-floor extensions, together with the extensive refurbishment and reorganisation of the existing cottage.
The design deliberately combines traditional materials, craftsmanship and retained historic features with contemporary interventions. Exposed oak structure, existing brickwork and the characterful thatched roof sit alongside generous glazing, rooflights and clean modern detailing, bringing natural light deep into the house and strengthening the connection with the garden.
