Garth House Cottage Renovation and Extension

This project involves the sensitive renovation and extension of a Grade II listed cottage near Brampton. Set within a secluded, mature landscape, the cottage serves as an annex to the main 1830s residence. Our design preserves the building’s historic character while enhancing its functionality. Key improvements included replacing metal windows with timber double glazing, re-roofing with matching slates, and extending the living area into the old workers’ kitchen, garden store, and a reconstructed greenhouse footprint for a new conservatory. The project also introduces a new driveway with a no-dig strategy to protect the site’s protected trees. Our approach respects the original architectural details, such as sandstone arrow slit vents and replicated window hoods, ensuring the heritage asset’s integrity while supporting its longevity through thoughtful modernization.
