Western Escarpment House: Extension to an Arts & Crafts House in the New Forest
This early Edwardian 'Arts & Crafts' style house is located in the Western Escarpment Conservation Area near Ringwood.
The 86m2 extension lightly connects to the south of the existing non-designated heritage asset house by means of a glazed link.
The main hipped roof volume contains the kitchen, dining room and living room with nine metre wide biparting, bifolding doors to the west creating a strong connection with the 3 acre site.
A 'fabric first' approach to the extension and upgrades to insulation and heating / hot water system in the existing house have seen the EPC improve from 'F' to 'B'.
