Building in Bourton-on-the-Water.
We build kitchen extensions, house extensions and renovations for homes across Bourton-on-the-Water. Philip can visit your home to talk through your plans, budget and timings.
Family living in a riverside setting.
Bourton’s riverside centre has a different character from its newer residential streets. A modern rear extension on a family house and an addition to a historic cottage need different material and planning responses.
Consider how daylight will reach the existing house, not just the new room. A roof lantern, garden doors and a kitchen layout should be developed as one design.
Local planning, kept simple.
Your local council is Cotswold District Council. Some homes sit in conservation areas or the Cotswolds National Landscape, which have their own rules. We talk you through what applies to your home at the site visit.
What to bring to a site conversation.
Share your drawings if you have them, a few photographs, your target budget and the changes that matter most to your household. Tell us about side access, shared boundaries and whether you plan to stay at home during construction.
We can then discuss a rear extension, kitchen knock-through or renovation in the context of your actual house, and work towards a clearly defined fixed-price quotation.
