Front Extension to an existing two bedroom bungalow including complete remodeling of front facade, attic and garage conversion
A larch-clad extension has transformed an unprepossessing two-bedroom 1960s bungalow in the village of Over, Cambridgeshire, for clients Patricia and Michael Sumpter. The front facade has been completely remodelled into a saw-tooth elevation composed of four pitches clad in vertical Siberian larch boarding.
Internally the three garden rooms, at the rear of the bungalow, have been combined to form an open-plan living space focused around an existing magnolia tree.
The separate garage building has been incorporated into the main house, and converted along with the attic space.
