Renovation and extension of country cottage, Co. Westmeath

The owners of this cottage approached us with architect drawings for a very pleasant south facing extension. With spectacular views over one of Westmeath's finest lakes, the large glass area is of great benefit.

We completed the project on time and to budget. A generous decking area will be ideal for barbecues in the summer. The aesthetics of the original construction were retained by reusing the existing roof tiles, supplemented with selected second hand roof tiles sourced from our suppliers.

A modern, open plan kitchen and living was created by completely renovating the existing kitchen area of the cottage, and creating an opening in the existing rear wall leading to the extension.

The extension allows for a generous, bright and airy living area. Overall a very pleasant living space has been designed and realised, while keeping the character of the original cottage intact.
