Aberdeenshire Home : St. Cyrus Cottage Extension, North East Scotland
Paterson ArchitectsPrivate House, St. Cyrus, Aberdeenshire
Paterson Architects have received planning consent for a significant extension to an existing single storey cottage, near St Cyrus in Aberdeenshire. The three acre site is on a hill and surrounded by agricultural land. It overlooks the North Sea and Montrose Basin to the south and has further panoramic views north to the Angus Glens.
The existing cottage nestles into a band of mature trees which provide a wind break for it and the extension. The cottage is L-shaped with traditional white render and a slate roof and will be upgraded to be used as a home office with visitor accommodation. The cottage is linked to the new 190m2 single storey extension that houses the majority of the family accommodation.
Children’s bedrooms and the living and dining areas face south with large windows to maximise the views and benefit from passive solar gain. The master bedroom faces west with views north to the glens. The exterior of the extension has vertical board on board larch cladding, with a continuous flat parapet that is lower than the roof of the existing cottage. The language is very similar to Paterson Architects’ award winning house in East Lothian.
The client has approached a local contractor, with a view to starting on site in September 2008.
