A beautifully renovated Arts & Crafts house

Walden was originally part of a larger Arts & Crafts house on a prominent corner in Farnham, which was split to create two semi-detached homes.

The garden was divided and when we were appointed, the driveway opened onto a busy road.  We suggested moving the entrance onto the quieter side road, which gave the house back its rear garden, which previously had just been driveway and parking.  We proposed demolishing an ugly red brick box extension, built in the 1970’s, and replaced it with a mirror of the front turret at first floor level, splayed out to create a bright and spacious family room on the ground floor.  These changes have turned an awkward tired old house into a modern family home while retaining and enhancing its period character.

 

“A most thorough planning application, well prepared, well researched and in tune with its environs. A unique design which makes best use of its surroundings.”
