Farmhouse Extension Glazed Linked Annexe and Barn Conversion

As Featured on TV for Channel 4’s Extraordinary Extensions!

As featured on Channel 4’s “Extraordinary Extensions, Evenhay Farm near Ludlow is a stunning £250,000 ‘angular’ conversion of a three-bed Grade II listed 17th-century rural farmhouse and barn, featuring a new glass fronted annexe and glazed walkway.

 

The asymmetrical feature of the extension, created from larch cladding and a sedum roof compliment the old through references to the surrounding landscape. Mimicking that of the countryside surrounding the property allows the property to sit effortlessly in the landscape whilst also creating that wow factor.

The clients decided to move back to the area from Nottingham and had the vision to work with Alan Harris senior to turn the family home into a place where they could all live in and enjoy the stunning views.

 

Evenhay Farm, which is nestled just outside of Ludlow, was completed in two phases to ensure the family could remain on site during the complicated build.

The barn was the first task, with it taken down brick-by-brick, numbered and then rebuilt to create the new two-bed self-contained property with kitchen and living space that can be used by visitors or as a potential future Airbnb opportunity.

 

Once this was complete, then moved into the conversion to allow for the modernisation and extension of the main Grade II listed cottage.

 

This involved a considerable kitchen expansion and the creation of a glazed walkway that leads to the new, stunning annexe that is locally being referred to as ‘the ski slope’. Here there is a shower room, dedicated living space and a master bedroom, with the focus on delivering 270° views of the Herefordshire countryside.

Vic Johnson, founder of JDP said, “We’ve loved working on this project, a project that has taken a childhood home and transformed it into a property that allows the family to live together again and maximises its beautiful surroundings.”

 

The client concluded: “This is our dream home and Matt and the team have done a fantastic job listening to our vision and always putting our best interests at heart. We’re so proud of it and it’s great we’ve been able to share the construction of the project with Tinie Tempah and the team at Extraordinary Extensions.”

“We wanted a small extension to the rear of our property, to create an open-plan kitchen dining area. Vic and Matt helped us understand what could be achieved ticking all our wish list and more by also adding a utility and downstairs toilet creating a space we didn’t think was possible. They supported us at every stage of the project through to completion, providing their expertise every step of the way, making the whole process painless. We are really pleased with the result, turning our house into our dream family home.”

We love this house and it is a testament to your skills that it works so well for us. I am hoping that you will be able to help us again when (if) we succeed in buying the run down (and badly designed) bungalow we want – I will be in touch soon, I hope

Once we found Johnson Design we didn’t consider looking anywhere else. They offer such a professional and comprehensive service which made the whole process of extending our house totally hassle and stress free. We had some brilliant designs which were exactly what we wanted and from there they helped us with all the small and big details and to find the right builders for us. They were on hand at any time to answer questions and queries for us and to communicate with the building company on our behalf. Their advice at every step was so helpful. Our double storey extension is now finished and we couldn’t be more happy with it.

We would highly recommend this team without reservation.

“We have just finished an extension to our kitchen and dealt with Matt at JDP from the beginning to the end of the project. He was very professional throughout and I would recommend anyone to use JDP for their build project.”

I have recently finished my third project with Johnson Design! Two at my work premises and one residential. Matt Spinks is great to work with and always has great ideas and attention to detail. Will come back for any future projects 🙂

Our garden is long, narrow and lies along a steep, exposed slope. It is difficult to do anything meaningful with it. Vic Johnson and Andi Clews have developed plans for our garden which should result in something very special, with stunning entrance, privacy and exciting trails throughout the garden. Can’t wait to see it completed!

We engaged Johnson Design 4 years ago at the start of a big renovation and new build project. Matt Spinks has always taken our ideas or vague notions of an idea and turned them into something innovative which is both attractive and practical. We were delighted with the final plans which went straight through planning permission, even though part of the project was a Grade 2 listed renovation. As a project manager Matt has also been first rate and thoroughly supportive. We would not hesitate to recommend Johnson Design.
