Contemporary architectural extension to 15th Century Farmhouse in Penn, Beaconsfield
The current front, it would seem was added towards the latter part of the 19th century. Of poor design, this addition meant that two staircases were present each one serving a different upstairs wing. As is the case with many old properties, there existied no real hallway with rooms accessed via others, providing nittle to no personality to what were to all in tense and purposes thoroughfares.

The brief was to completley remodel the interior, consolidate the upstairs accommodation by removing one of the staircases, provide a central hallway, allowing access to all reception rooms, extending the existing lounge to become a large galleried and lofted kitchen with oak beams and a liquid metal finished kitchen cabinets with marble tops. External groundworks include widening the driveway, adding a large south facing patio, gazaebo and seating area.
