The original house layout did not make the most of the attractive garden areas to the rear and side. A scheme was developed to form a new garden room to address this shortcoming, in company with other miscellaneous alterations. The resulting space now provides a comfortable area from which the garden can be seen and enjoyed throughout the year. Direct access to the garden is afforded by means of french doors and the adjoining loggia that has been incorporated on the south side. The design and materials have been carefully tailored to compliment the existing structure.
