enabled light to fl ood into the living space. BOTTOM: the roof features louvres,
which can be adjusted according to the weather conditions. Genius!
Th e garden room
Walking out of the kitchen doors takes you into the garden, where the
view leads to the splendid garden room at the far end. Th e structure is
very stylish, and in many ways it is simplicity itself, with lightweight but
fully watertight side panels, a roof with louvres that can be opened and
closed, and semi-transparent screens at the front and side to keep out the
sun while allowing light through. And, of course, these features are just as
useful in wet weather as well… very snug. All of the garden room project
was managed by Spud from start to fi nish, and there was no planning
permission required for it.
‘Th e garden room has transformed our lifestyle,’ Rich told us. ‘We get
down here pretty much every day we are here, and it has all mod cons – a
barbecue, pizza oven, heating, electricity and plenty of space for a big sofa
and table. As well as being great for socialising, it can also make a good
home offi ce during the day.’
Kate added: ‘Alongside it, I keep a vegetable bed ,where I try and grow
things that you can put straight onto the barbecue. It really is a divine spot.
‘All in all,’ she continued, ‘we cannot fault the work of Classic Stamford.
As well as their careful attention to detail, they were tidy as they went
along, keeping dust to a minimum. We are absolutely delighted with
the kitchen, the patio doors and the garden room… they have really
transformed our home.’
