Extension & Underground Pool, Bowden Hill, Lacock, Wiltshire

This is a property with exceptional views right across to Chew Valley where the owners wanted to maximise the outlook.

This was an extremely complex project where we were working in partnership with local ground works specialist E.D. & W Bodmen. 

The property is built on a steep slope so our brief was to build a new storey below the existing level of the house with an extension over to form a large new kitchen finished to an exceptionally high standard.

During the construction process, we were asked to add in an underground swimming pool – which meant we were excavating eighteen feet below the ground level of the existing house and had to carry out significant works to ensure the integrity of the existing building.

The pool was completed and we built on a porch and new chimney in Ashlar stone before rendering the whole building with a light wheat coloured render.

 The completed project delivered a spectacular house within a stunning setting.
