Bryn Powys, Nr Oswestry

Having grown up in Bryn Powys, this project held special significance for our client, Rosie. Nestled in a picturesque setting, surrounded by enchanting woodlands and sprawling acres, the property is a true gem. 

Following the passing of Rosie’s father, Ke-design was approached to provide architectural services to renovate the dwelling into a holiday let. The house had evolved over time without a coherent plan. Although planning approval had been granted years earlier for a two-storey front extension, only the ground floor was built, resulting in a large entrance hall.

A makeshift kitchen was created by partitioning a small area of the lounge. The real issue, however, was the single-storey rear extension, which created a corridor connecting to the garage, leading to dark, internal rooms, and blocking off the stunning views.

Ke-design proposed replacing the corridor with a flat-roof single-storey extension featuring ample glazing to embrace the panoramic views. 

With a wood-fired hot tub, an entertaining games room, and the magnificent Berwyn mountains right at the doorstep, this place is an absolute paradise.
