Lavender Cottage
Melton Mowbray · Extension & Remodelling
Extending a characterful cottage with carefully
considered additions
Lavender Cottage involved a series of extensions and internal
alterations to an existing character property in Melton Mowbray.
The proposals were developed to respect the original stonework
, pitched slate roof and character windows while introducing
more practical and generous living spaces.

BAUEN Design was tasked with designing multiple extensions and extensive internal remodelling for a client's property in Melton Mowbray. We were approached by a visionary client, and through our expertise, we elevated their vision to bring their dream family home to life.
The original dwelling boasts stonework construction, a pitched slate roof, characterful window details, and external ironmongery. However, several poorly conceived additions over the years included a single-storey brick extension on the North gable, a two-story brick extension with a flat roof on the East-facing elevation, and a south-facing timber-clad conservatory.
Our design solution encompassed a complete internal remodel, featuring a substantial two-story replacement side extension, along with two minor extensions, including a contemporary glazed box dining room.
The client opted for a comprehensive package, including pre-planning and full planning applications, building regulations, on-site works, tender, and interior design. The project is set for completion in December 2023.
