Hightown Park
Located in the New Forest National Park on the outskirts of Ringwood, Hightown Park was already a substantive country residence set within its own graounds and paddocks. Due to its size, it had previously been used for both private and more communal dwelling purposes. As such, it was in urgent need of a rethink and upgrade and it was in this context that we were asked to provide design input.
The solutions were threefold - (1) Replace the existing 1980's double glazed conservatory at the southern end with a new structure to house a home office and gymn (2) Open up existing kitchen into new orangery/conservatory dining space and (3) New 1F master suite with oak framed walk out balcony over viewing the gardens..
All the above to be realised within the NFNPA space/size standards for extension, restrcted to 30% of that existing on record at 1st July 1982.
