New-build detached house at Parkfield with gabled bays and a herringbone brick drive
New Build · 2020

Parkfield

A detached family home built from the ground up, traditional outside and contemporary inside. Gabled bays and warm brick face the street, while the rear opens to the garden through full-width glazing and the bedrooms carry on up into the roof.

From the street the house is deliberately traditional. Twin gabled bays and applied timberwork let a completely new building sit quietly among its older neighbours.

The kitchen runs across the rear as one open room, with an island under a large extract canopy and glazing the full width of the garden wall. The entrance hall gives a long view through the house, and the staircase is lit by a concealed cove.

Bedrooms continue into the roof, where rooflights and recessed lighting keep the loft storey feeling as generous as the floors below. The same large-format stone tiling runs through every bathroom in the house.
