Designed for its downsizing owner who struggled to find anything suitable on the market, this home is warm, welcoming, and has the future in mind.
The best designed homes are tailored to the needs of their occupants, and this is very much the case of this new build cottage in Dromore, Co Down.knew the client particularly well, as it was her mother. She had been looking for a home to downsize into, that would be accessible for her into the future, but struggled to find anything suitable.
“Most affordable smaller homes are of a nondescript design, don’t have a bedroom or bathroom at ground floor level and they tend to have smaller, separate living, kitchen and dining spaces which don’t lend themselves to entertaining. Clover Cottage isn’t small, but offers more generous and flexible accommodation than many houses of a similar size.”
It all clearly paid off, however, with the bright, welcoming space that has been created. As the house sits close to the road, the entrance porch acts as a buffer and a timber screen adds privacy to the front door. “The volume is defined by a horizontal datum which sets the height for the tall doors, windows, built-in shelving and a niche for the wall to wall curtains. A sliding pocket door to the kitchen sits within the shelving allowing it to be discreetly closed off or provide views through the kitchen back to the street.”
