The Little Hadham Extension

Little Hadham, Hertfordshire

A newly built extension to a Grade II listed property in Little Hadham, Hertfordshire, designed around panoramic countryside views. This commission encompasses a full in-frame shaker kitchen, utility room with cockbeaded front frame detailing, and a bespoke bedroom dressing area, all unified by a carefully curated palette of heritage colours and natural materials.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the space with light, while the kitchen’s layout - anchored by a substantial island with seating and a hand-built mantle over the range - balances working functionality with the easy warmth of a room designed for gathering. A walk-in larder and dedicated utility room keep the main kitchen clean and uncluttered, with every surface finished in Calacatta quartz for a sense of quiet continuity.
