This newly built house takes inspiration from estate type houses in the area. The Manor House and ‘outbuilding’ are linked by a flat roofed contemporary porch and secret pantry, whilst the open planned kitchen/ living area with barrel vaulted ceiling are contained within the brick clad, outshoot to the rear of the house. The desired aesthetic is achieved via careful use of traditional proportions, detailing and symmetry in addition to a limited palate of high quality materials.
