Description of development

Replacement garden room to Grade II Listed thatched cottage near Winchester.

N&J Design were appointed by our client to assist in obtaining Planning and Listed Building Consent for a replacement conservatory to a Grade II Listed thatched cottage located on the Hursley Estate, a short distance outside of Winchester.

The previous cedar conservatory was showing signs of deterioration and the client wanted to preserve and enhance the significance of the Listed Building by replacing the upper portion of the conservatory with a more appropriate design. A traditional oak frame was the natural choice to complement the mid 17^th century timber frame of the original dwelling.

N&J Design successfully secured both the Planning and Listed Building Consents with a package which included a selection of large scale cross sections and construction / joinery details of the new elements.

The replacement building comprises a hand crafted oak frame with direct glazing and opening casement windows, an orangery style slate roof with a glazed lantern and a rolled lead sheet roof connecting the garden room to the dwelling.

Build status
