Located in a Low Fell conservation area, this contemporary rear extension will create a new family living area to the rear of this property. Featuring large apex glazing, charred timber cladding, the extension will create a contemporary aesthetic whilst complimenting the existing stonework.
There will be a large new kitchen, living and dining area with a stunning vaulted ceiling. Within this will be a stylish, large kitchen island where the family can have casual meals, do homework, socialise and prepare meals. There will be a separate dining room with plenty of space for lots of guests as our clients love to host! The new utility and downstairs en-suite will provide practical storage spaces for those things you’d like to keep hidden from the main living space.
The new large double garage will mirror the style of the new extension, creating a beautiful harmony between the two buildings. There will be space to park two cars (perfectly sized to comfortably fit the measurements of our clients’ cars) as well as plenty of storage, a separate bike storage room and a large room to be used as a home gym. The large area of glazing to the gym will provide stunning views of the surrounding countryside whilst our clients are working out – perfect!
We have also designed alterations to the main house including replacing the existing dormer. Dormer cheeks and roof to be lined with EPDM membrane and the windows will be replaced with new double glazed windows with glazing bars to match the existing windows. One window will be removed and blocked up in matching materials as this is no longer required within the internal reconfiguration.
On The rise, Darras Hall, Northumberland, properties often provide exceptional opportunity to extend (or even rebuild). The homes are mostly on large plots and were constructed at a time when homes, just like cars and everything else, were just much smaller. Today’s modern family needs and wants more space.
This family wanted enough bedrooms for the kids to have their own, and still some space left over for friends and family to crash when the evening turned to a night. The ground floor came with the usual issues of disjointed family life. The team at Acre Design, worked closely with the clients and came up with a number of workable options to provide the bedroom accommodation that was needed. As well as a layout to the ground floor that brought the family together.
A large open plan space including a stunning kitchen – with pantry and utility off to the side- dining and living space, a gym area, snug room and office to the ground floor. To achieve this, we designed a timber frame, two storey wraparound extension, to encompass the side and rear elevation of this home. The roof was tricky! We came up with a mansard roof design that provided beautiful light wells above the open oak staircase, flooding the open hallway and staircase with light. The clients internal design flair has really set this project off. And Lottie, the miniature golden doodle, is very happy with the underfloor heating.
