The work was carried out to an extremely high standard with materials sourced to ensure the extension blends seamlessly with the original building.

The well proportioned accommodation extends to an impressive 6,162 sq ft (572.5 sq m) and offers tremendous versatility, suitable for a variety of uses and is flooded with light from large sash windows.
