The scheme will offer 20 residential apartments with associated parking and landscaping, through the provision of two distinct, but associated propositions: the refurbishment and extension of the existing three storey building, comprising 14 one, two and three bed apartments and the erection of a new three storey apartment building to the rear of the site, housing six, two bed apartments. The original building will be retained and restored where possible and the numerous sub-standard late 20th Century additions, will be removed and replaced with a higher quality extension, which complements the adjacent heritage asset in a more contemporary way. Consequently, the design takes cues from the building’s architectural features and materials. The gables, which are a prominent feature of the main house, are repeated on the new extension, albeit at a smaller scale to be subservient to the host building. Large window openings with a clear vertical emphasis, echo the proportions of the existing windows. Opening sizes sequentially diminish on upper storeys, similarly to the window hierarchy evident on the original building.
