Autumn Vale
Nestled in the centre of a historic South East village, tucked within a leafy lane – with listed buildings all around – this plot was very special, but highly sensitive. There was a modest and outdated bungalow on the site, with a huge but overgrown garden, making it the ideal ‘replacement dwelling’ project.
Working with a local architect initially our clients navigated the complex local planning situation, eventually securing approval on the basis of the aesthetic upgrade offered by oak framing. Planning came with many stipulations and constraints and Border Oak were approached to pick up the project and translate the planning drawings into a workable design.
We worked closely alongside our clients to refine and adapt the plans and to ensure the constraints weren’t compromises.
This incredible Border Oak home replaced a small, tired bungalow in a very pretty village lane. The bungalow was the least attractive home on the lane, which is in a Conservation Area and surrounded by listed properties.
Our clients were delighted to secure approval for this four bedroom family home, which was designed to enhance the location and better utilise the wonderful garden space.
The generous four bedroom property is distinguished by the double height entrance porch that leads into a spacious central hall with formal sitting room, office and yoga studio to either side. A basement sits underneath. A few steps out of the hallway and a level change then introduces the incredible vaulted kitchen with its wall of bifold doors opening onto a courtyard. The kitchen is truly inspirational with the arched bracing sweeping up to the roof lights; helping to create a light and contemporary room at the heart of this home.
