Case Study: A modern twist on a period cottage

When Yorick Butcher moved into his beautiful 1770s cottage in Yaxley, Peterborough, he knew the time would come when his growing family would need more space to live.

His idea was to add a single storey modern extension to the cottage doubling the size of the family’s home.

 "I chose VELUX Modular Skylights both for the high performance of the product and ease of installation. The longlights flooded the new extension with light and now the family spend all their time relaxing in this wonderful space, as well as cooking and eating, so having the vented unit is ideal. It’s brilliant as it lets in fresh air, whatever the weather. All in all, the extension has a bright and airy feel to it, which we love. The job couldn’t have gone better. The family and I are over the moon."
