Witcher Crawford has obtained Planning and Listed Building Approval for a two-storey extension to a former public house and coaching inn near Weymouth.

Traditional designs by others had been rejected by the local authority, who were keen to restrict any extensions to a single storey. Witcher Crawford overcame this obstacle by submitting a modern design that clearly contrasted with, yet complemented, the historic building.

The ground floor of the extension is constructed in Purbeck Stone, matching the existing Grade-II historic building, while the first floor and roof are clad in thermally treated pre-aged ash. The new extension is connected to the listed building via a frameless structural glass link, exposing the original façade and creating a visual separation between new and old buildings.

Witcher Crawford have obtained a hard-fought Planning Consent for a replacement dwelling house in the South Downs National Park. The approved scheme exceeds the size restriction imposed by the National Park by a significant margin after detailed negotiations with neighbours and the planning department. We were able to offset existing ancillary buildings to provide an integrated garage into the design, which is also not strictly permissible under the district’s local plan.

Chestnut Cottage is located in a small village in the East Hants District, consisting of varying building types. The design draws inspiration from C19th rural estate lodges.

The house incorporates traditional local materials, utilising render and a brown/red clay tile roof and Crittall style windows.  

Witcher Crawford are proud to present a recently built pool in Sevenoaks, Kent as it receives Silver in the ‘Residential Indoor Freeboard Pools £150,000 and over' category at the British Pool and Hot Tub Awards 2024; hosted by SPATA and BISHTA. The pool was delivered by multi-award winning Tanby Pools.

The award-winning pool forms part of a newly completed 5-bedroom Arts and Crafts house. It transcends into a space that intentionally binds the built environment to the natural landscaping. Immersed in the verdant background, the scheme combines luxury with natural beauty. Complete with a bespoke stone mural designed by Richard Witcher on the west wall, the pool house balances craft with utility.

As we celebrate the achievement of our sophisticated pool, we strive to continue our journey towards finding the perfect blend between craftmanship and living. Join us as we explore unique niches in luxury design.
