Domestic Extension in Ashover, Derbyshire

This contemporary glazed extension and extensive alterations to a Victorian villa in Ashover Village, Derbyshire has provided the owners with a modern and open living space.

The bi-fold doors in the house’s extension are designed to open the internal space to an outdoor living area in the summer and provide a thermally efficient ‘wintergarden’ in the colder months; the use of south facing glazed roof fills the lounge with light all year round. The kitchen has been relocated to become the heart of the home including new solid wood units and always on cooker in what was previously mostly used as a thoroughfare.

The first floor layout has been greatly altered to improve the access into the bedrooms and provide a guest ‘wing’ with 2 bedrooms and an en-suite, as well as an additional attic bedroom and bathroom with a feature splayed dormer window.
