Insight Architectural Design are delighted to have obtained planning permission for the ‘link extension’ of ‘River Cottage’ and ‘The Stables’ in West Woodburn, Northumberland. Situated in a stunning hamlet overlooking the River Rede, the single storey extension linking two existing barn conversions offers an imposing double height snug and dining space with through access to a fully integrated contemporary kitchen. In addition to providing convenient access between the two properties access is also gained to the biomass utility and WC whilst retaining ‘through access’ between front and rear external amenity spaces.

The link-extension and renovation will be flooded with natural daylight providing a beautiful central hub to this stunning family home.

A traditional pallet of materials consists random stone walls, heads, cills and quoins complete and pitched slate roof in keeping with the existing farm steading. To the rear, a contemporary twist offers full height polyester powder coated aluminium curtain walling with bifold doors drawing natural daylight deep into the plan whist offering views out toward private landscaped gardens and open countryside beyond.

Underfloor heating and a feature log burner complete the scheme offering the ultimate luxury and occupant comfort.
