Ranmore, Surrey

As the front garden area was minimal and the views from the first floor an important asset it was decided to split the two storey house into two separate cottages with bedrooms on the ground floor and open living rooms and kitchens on the first floor looking out across the North Downs.

The living rooms are accessed from two separate staircases so that each cottage has its own entrance. The living rooms also enjoy the exposed roof structure which was opened up to create a tall ceiling that followed the pitch of the roof.
