Ivy Cottage, Hightae
A contemporary rural attic conversion
This project transforms the underused loft of a traditional cottage
in Dumfries and Galloway into a bright en-suite bedroom with views over the surrounding countryside.
Although relatively spacious, the layout of Ivy Cottage meant it had only one bedroom, which had put previous prospective buyers off.
However, our clients, Norman and Angela, could see the possibilities in the cramped, dusty attic, and after buying the cottage approached us to explore how it might be converted into a second bedroom.
Internally, the structural timber is left exposed around the windows to frame the view beyond.
Neil’s design has given us a wonderful new open bright space with the ‘wow’ factor and beautiful views over Dumfries and Galloway.
