Period Homes with Modern Extensions Listed for Sale Across England
Several period homes in England featuring contemporary extensions are currently for sale, according to a report by Guardian Property. The properties are located in Shropshire, Kent, Cambridgeshire, Dorset, and London, and combine traditional architecture with modern design elements.
In Bishop’s Castle, Shropshire, a three-bedroom, two-bathroom period cottage with a new, taller extension is on the market for £695,000 through Strutt & Parker. The extension features a slanted roof, white frontage with complementary tiles, and a timber-clad, modern rear with tall windows and glazed panels. The property is situated on the edge of the market town, less than a mile from the local primary school and near the Welsh border.
A four-bedroom home in Canterbury, Kent, is listed at £1.225 million with The Modern House. The property spans four floors, with one half being a traditional Victorian red-brick house and the other a tower-like extension. The interior includes helter-skelter staircases, floating glass landing walkways, a curved kitchen, and a roof terrace. The back garden is surrounded by mature trees, and the property is located just over ten minutes’ walk from Canterbury West station.
In Orwell, Cambridgeshire, a Victorian house with an industrial-style side extension is available for £1.15 million through Cheffins. The four-bedroom property features oak-engineered flooring in the entrance hall, storage under the stairs, a cloakroom, study, and sitting room. The extension houses a large kitchen-diner with a vaulted, pitched ceiling and Norfolk oak cabinetry. The plot includes land suitable for grazing or a paddock.
A three-bedroom semi-detached house in Dottery, Dorset, is listed at £650,000 with Symonds & Sampson. The property has a new extension running along the back, creating a kitchen/living/dining room with bifold doors to the garden. The south-facing rear garden features decking and a hot tub overlooking fields and hedgerows.
In Queen’s Park, London, a five-bedroom property is on the market for £3.5 million with Aucoot. The original red Victorian bricks have been used to create a large kitchen-diner at the back, with a geometric pattern distinguishing the new section. The house features large, double-glazed doors in a dark oak frame, timber floorboards, and underfloor heating.
These listings may be of interest to letting agents and inventory clerks seeking properties that blend period features with modern extensions.
