This semi-detached former workers’ cottage has been reimagined to maximize northern light and solar access and to create a first-floor parents retreat, blending heritage charm with modern functionality while maintaining a discreet street presence.
The classic terrace layout transitions smoothly into the contemporary extension, showcasing raked ceilings and reflective white walls. Lime-washed timber floorboards seamlessly connect to handpicked limestone tiles, extending through the living space and outdoor terrace to a private courtyard.
A Scandinavian-inspired neutral palette enhances natural light, while custom storage solutions maintain spatial efficiency. The home utilises the thermal mass of concrete and cavity brick construction for passive temperature regulation, ensuring year-round comfort. Louvred windows strategically placed throughout enable effective cross ventilation, and advanced acoustic insulation between floors and in walls separating neighbouring properties enhances privacy and noise control.
