The completion of two larger projects on Histon Road and Mill Road earlier in the year has allowed us to nurture a number of small scale projects, which by no means are less challenging. Our attention to detail is just as critical and has required an altogether Herculean amount of patience and understanding from our clients, as we make steady progress through the various hoops and hurdles of the planning system. Seeking builders that have the skills with a similar outlook to small project demands has also revealed other design avenues for this scale of project.

As we draw closer to this years end, two of these small projects are due to start on site.

Pegg's Cottage is a Grade II Listed building with 20th Century additions. Having considered and dismissed a number of alternative houses and locations, our clients who requested our opinion on design and layout opportunities 'pre-purchase', will shortly commence works to extend an existing breakfast/dining room and remodel the first floor accommodation. New contemporary glazed additions will be complemented by repurposing existing field flint walling to make a stronger connection with the secluded garden.

Ferry Path will also commence some enabling works initially, before getting under way early next year.

The need for improved living space does not only apply to old properties. We are currently pursuing two intervention projects that look to redress the balance of inadequate living space, now common place with new houses. More about those shortly…
