MELBOURNE ROAD

arch/FORM were contacted by the owners of this beautiful farmhouse property in the Leicestershire countryside as the existing front extension was in need of renovation and repair to transform the front elevation and make the space usable all year around.

 

The project seeks to extend and replace a series of smaller front extensions to provide an entrance orangery which is functional, but also enjoyable to sit in and look out onto the front garden. There were also areas of existing glazing that needed replacing, resizing and the fenestration changing to make them more sympathetic to the original windows of the house. 

Materials and features include arched head sash windows with projecting brick headers, matching stone copings, window heads and cills and a new roof lantern.
 

During the project, we worked with the client closely, providing a series of external and internal 3D renders, panoramic walk-throughs and also a 3D print of the extension. 

​

The project is currently being reviewed by the North-West Leicestershire Local Planning Authority . We look forward to assisting our clients when the project starts on site in 2024.
