Potter + Holmes have designed, constructed and sold a number of individual houses in the Cotswolds since 1999.
They are generally traditional in appearance externally but less so internally, with the following common features:
A structural strategy which allows the layout of the house to be adapted to the changing needs of family life through time.
Minimum dedicated circulation space, often with the main staircase part of a multi-storey atrium space incorporating the living room
Strong spatial interlinking between rooms to allow the house to be flexible.
An 'Annexe' which can be a used as a flat for teenagers or grandparents, a workspace, a home cinema or even tenanted.
Optimum use of space, with galleried bedrooms to allow the sloping roof void to be incorporated into habitable accommodation.
Well insulated Timber Frame clad in stone, timber or lime render.
These houses include:
May Lane, Dursley - 5 bedrooms with basement
Young's Orchard, Brimscombe - 5 bedrooms with annexe
Broadreach, Edge - 5 bedrooms with annexe
Tythe House, North Woodchester - 5 bedrooms with workshop
Knowle Cottage, Cranham - 5 bedrooms with annexe
