A Timeless Cottage Transformed into a Spacious Family Home
Nestled in the heart of Milton Keynes Village, this charming cottage has been thoughtfully reimagined—evolving from a quaint, traditional dwelling into a spacious and elegant family home. Once a small cottage brimming with character, the property has undergone an extensive refurbishment, blending modern comfort with its historic charm.
Key Features of this Project
1. Preserving Character While Embracing Modern Living
The renovation focused on enhancing the home’s period features while upgrading essential elements such as insulation, heating, and electrics to meet contemporary standards. Every detail of the interiors was carefully considered, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere with materials that honor the cottage’s history while offering a fresh, stylish aesthetic.
2. Seamlessly Designed Extensions for a Growing Family
To maximise space and functionality, three bespoke extensions were seamlessly integrated with the original structure. A generous rear extension now serves as the heart of the home, featuring an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area bathed in natural light from large glazed doors that open onto the garden.
A side extension introduces a versatile space, ideal for a home office or guest suite, while a second-story extension provides additional bedrooms and bathrooms—ensuring the home meets the evolving needs of a growing family.
3. A Harmonious Blend of Past and Present
The result is a beautifully balanced home that retains the soul of the original cottage while offering spacious, modern living. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously executed, this transformation not only enhances the home’s practicality but also ensures it remains a cherished part of Milton Keynes Village for generations to come.
