The ground floor extension is clad in vertical and horizontal western red cedar cladding which will be allowed to weather to a sliver grey.

The proposals for the ground floor extended the house to include a larger kitchen with dining space overlooking the garden, utility room with separate ‘back door’, large living room, snug and study. The proposals for the first floor extended the house from three double bedrooms, one single bedroom and one family bathroom to four double bedrooms two with ensuite shower rooms and one larger family bathroom with bath and shower.
