The project includes a rear extension, replacement garage, and various home improvements to enhance aesthetics and functionality. The new extension, set between the original rear wings, features a distinctive black zinc conical roof, blending contemporary design with the existing structure. A reconfigured bedroom now serves as an open-plan sitting room, maximizing natural light through full-height glazing, a roof light, and sliding glass doors leading to a terrace and pergola. The replacement garage, built with traditional materials, provides vehicle storage and hobby space while preserving key sightlines, including views of St. George’s Church. Sustainable upgrades include upcycling original timber windows with double-glazed casement inserts and adding roof insulation while replacing the covering, modernizing the home while respecting its character. Located in the Ramsgate Conservation Area, the design balances modern living with historical sensitivity, maintaining the home’s elevations and using durable, high-quality materials. Approved under delegated powers without objections, the project enhances comfort and practicality while preserving the home’s original charm.
