Kitchen Extension in Bath

A rear kitchen extension for a Bath home, built in ashlar Bath stone with anthracite-framed glazing. Full-width bifold doors fold back to open the new kitchen and family space completely onto the paved patio, while a large rooflight and picture windows draw daylight deep into the plan. Inside, a handleless kitchen with a generous island and induction hob sits alongside a relaxed family area with a log burner — one open, light-filled space for cooking, eating and living.

Design and construction of a single-storey rear extension in ashlar Bath stone with a flat roof and dark coping detail. Full-width anthracite bifold doors, rooflight and picture windows, paved patio, and a complete kitchen fit-out with island, induction hob and open-plan family area with log burner.

The owners wanted a light-filled kitchen and family space that opened fully onto the garden — somewhere to cook, eat and relax together — in materials that would sit naturally alongside Bath's traditional stone architecture.

Achieving a fully-opening glazed wall and generous rooflight while keeping the extension feeling solid and crafted beside the original stone house, and zoning cooking, dining and relaxing within one open room.

Finely-jointed ashlar Bath stone keeps the exterior in keeping with its setting, while full-width bifolds, a rooflight and deep picture windows flood the interior with light. The island anchors the kitchen zone, and the family area with log burner gathers around garden views — open plan, but with clear places for everything.
