NATASHA BRINSMEAD SAYS

Jenny and Tim’s beautiful home sums up everything there is to love about the archetypal Cotswold farmhouse — from its honey-coloured stone walls to its original windows and impressive gables. But it is the new extension that is perhaps the real highlight here, doing what so many

extensions try and fail to do — complementing and even improving

on the original building. While the original interior has been untangled from its warren-like layout to provide spaces that now flow and work together, the new extension has added space, natural light and drama — completely restoring the former glory of

the property.
