Individual New Homes
-
A recently constructed house in the Arts and Crafts style. It is sited within a walled garden to a substantial Listed house.
-
New house on the Gower peninsula, replacing a modest bungalow. The glazed gable end overlooks National Trust land and the sea beyond. In the extreme coastal conditions it even requires wind-posts to secure the roof to the foundations.
-
Although technically an extension to a small cottage, this in essence is a new dwelling in an Oxfordshire village where development is strictly controlled. Traditional in appearance, it encompasses many ecological features including ground source heating.
-
Interior view of above, comprising a double height gallery with a "bridge" linking different rooms on the first floor. Both ground and first floor rooms have underfloor heating throughout.
-
This is a replacement dwelling on the site of the gatehouse in the grounds of a former convent. Surrounded by trees, it nevertheless has breathtaking views to White Horse Hill in Oxfordshire.
-
The interior view of above shows the glazed entrance canopy over the front door which leads to a double height galleried hall.
-
A new house on the edge of the Cotswolds in a walled garden adjacent to a Grade 2 Listed manor house. Read more about this scheme in the November issue of Homebuilding and Renovating magazine.

-
An example of a replacement dwelling in a rural location prior to terraces and landscaping. A former gardener's bungalow which can just be seen on the left hand side of the picture is to be demolished when the new house is complete and occupied.
-
This new house is constructed in the garden of an existing dwelling in the village envelope. Although apparently conventional, it has a 'split level' ground floor to take advantage of the sloping site.
-
The interior view of the above shows the difference in entrance level to ground floor level on the garden side with a cantilevered/suspended staircase.
-
Another view showing the tall bay windows from the principal rooms with glazed ballustrades to the balconies above serving main and guest bedrooms.
-
This new house stands in open countryside, but is a replacement dwelling sited largely on the footprint of a dilapidated cottage. The owner had very specific requirements including looking to achieve triple aspect from all of the main rooms.
-
The gravel driveway leads directly down to the front entrance for guest parking, but otherwise forks away from the house to a large garage block with a home office.
