Planning Granted for Alresford Extension

Our sensitively designed extension in Alresford has recently been granted planning approval. The extension, and internal reconfigurations, will create a new, open plan kitchen/dining area, with large-format glazing providing generous views into the garden and an increased quality of natural light to the interior. The proposals will upgrade existing service infrastructure and also include a new thermally efficient replacement orangery, creating a more comfortable and energy efficient home for a growing family.


The design proposals have been carefully designed to complement the traditional late-Victorian features of the existing house, using a matching material palette and detailing of the period to maintain the character of the building and local area.

Construction Progress with Hampshire New Build

Construction of our new build project in Hampshire is quickly moving forward, with the work now at roof level with much of the slate tile roof completed on the main body of the house. The ground floor masonry has been largely completed, and the windows are awaited. The window box details are also starting to take shape before the upper-storey zinc facade is installed.

The roof trusses and tile battens have been installed on the Northern wing, and the floor is being prepared for the installation of underfloor heating pipes - this, and the addition of an in-roof solar panel system to the main body of the house, will contribute toward the building's sustainable credentials.

The scheme is designed to provide comfortable living and much-needed care facilities for a disabled client, and will include tailor-made facilities such as a X-Y hoist system, hydrotherapy pool and open-plan & spacious plan arrangement, which is becoming evident as the interior walls take shape.

We will be sharing further updates and images as the exterior façade of the building progresses with the installation of the zinc cladding, porch canopy, and cedar detailing.

Completion of Extension in the Winchester Conservation Area

Witcher Crawford have completed a well-crafted, minimalist extension in the Winchester Conservation Area. The scheme is an extension to an existing Victorian terrace. Being positioned on such a sensitive site required a strong appraisal of the building's context to ensure any intervention was subtle when viewed from its surroundings, whilst simultaneously providing a high-quality and spacious extension to meet the needs of a modern family.

The rear zinc extension provides much needed space in the form of an extended and open-plan kitchen-diner, providing an extensive view into the rear garden whilst providing a greater quality of natural light to the space, with large format glazing and a rooflight. A new attic dormer also accommodates a new ensuite bathroom to equip the attic bedroom with independent sanitary facilities.

Extensive planning research was undertaken which identified similar alterations amongst neighbouring properties, informing an approach which was sensible and in keeping with the surrounding terraces.

Modern Two Storey Extension Completed

This newly completed extension has seen Witcher Crawford return to a property where we had created a basement extension more than a decade earlier. Charged with designing a two storey extension over the top of our previous work, we set to make the property more functional for modern family living. Harnessing natural light was a big part of the design with light passages dropping through the extension, with an impressive glass floor to the living room.

The new extension brings contemporary spaces to this Georgian terraced property.
