Groombridge, Kent

Rear Extension with Zinc Standing Seam Roof
and Bespoke Kitchen

Summary:

Set within the Groombridge countryside, this project redefined the way the home connects with its surroundings. A contemporary rear extension was introduced to create a light-filled, open-plan living and kitchen space that opens directly on to a generous patio.

The design balances crisp modern detailing with the charm of a traditional country house, resulting in a home that feels both current and rooted in its setting.

Specification:

  • Single storey rear extension to a detached country home.
  • Striking zinc standing seam roof in pigmento grey, providing a contemporary architectural feature against the white rendered elevations.
  • Large-format sliding doors creating a seamless connection between the new open-plan interior and the garden terrace.
  • Redesigned internal layout to deliver a spacious, open-plan kitchen and living space with improved flow for modern family life.
  • Enhanced natural light throughout the new extension, with views centred towards the surrounding countryside.
  • Contemporary external detailing carefully balanced with the traditional architecture of the original house.
  • Project delivered with strict image considerations, ensuring privacy of the client’s personal office and wider setting.
