The site is located in the Whalley Green Belt, within the Whalley Banks hamlet. The property is a traditional rural home surrounded by open countryside, and the clients wanted to create a primary living space which maximised natural light and views of their garden.

The property did not have an open plan kitchen dining living space, and a small and inefficient porch entrance. The house had small windows facing the garden and was therefore dark with a poor connection to their outstanding garden.

The solution was a single-storey extension to both the front and rear, creating an impressive entrance porch with oversized front door, coat and boot storage, and a contemporary open plan kitchen dining living space with large glazed sliding doors and a feature corner window onto the garden.
