The new extension is separated from the original cottage by a glass link, clearly distinguishing between the old and new while allowing natural light to flood the interior. Clad in vertical larch timber battens, the extension harmonizes beautifully with its woodland surroundings, echoing the natural textures and tones of the landscape.
Gorse Cottage’s extension is a seamless blend of traditional charm and contemporary design, creating a home that is both respectful of its past and fully equipped for modern living. This project exemplifies how thoughtful architecture can enhance a property’s character while embracing its natural setting.
