Kings Sutton

A large turn of the century stone house that by an accident at birth had been positioned on site with its front door on the opposite elevation to the drive. 

​

Previous owners had chosen to enter the property through the utility room and the heart of the house was dark and miserly. 

​

The new owners suggested that two central rooms be knocked vertically into one; this space was continued through the new attic link into a glazed lantern and a stone helical stair was pivoted on columns over the stair down to the cellar.

Four storeys interlinked. 

​

Later, two new partly glazed wings were added, containing a new dining room and living room. These where connected to the existing building through link corridors enclosing two new courtyards. providing a balanced symmetry and depth to the rear elevation
