WT Supplement
Below: The extension created on this circa 1500
timber framed, painted brick and weatherboard
farmhouse was built onto the back of the catslide
roof, constructed of painted brickwork with an
exposed oak roof. Reclaimed Kent peg tiles were
used to match the original roof. This created a
large open plan kitchen and dining area for our
clients.
Above: This 17th century listed hall house underwent a complete refurbishment. The project included
building a substantial two-storey extension to house a new bespoke contemporary kitchen with large
slimline glazed sliding doors seamlessly opening on to a York stone terrace. The first floor comprised a
master bedroom suite with exposed oak frame and crown post to match that of the original Hall House.
The extension also benefits from a full size basement area with home cinema room and entertaining space.
