Extending what was originally a 1950s bungalow to include an external balcony supplied by Balconette has created a light-filled home and opened up parkland views for Hugh and Julie Whitehead.
Refurbishment of the west-facing Hampshire property has expanded the first-floor landing, with space for a dining table from where they can take in ‘great views in all directions’ towards the South Downs National Park.
While obtaining planning permission for the balcony was not easy due to the property’s national park location, Hugh believes that the ‘minimalist’ design of Balconette’s balustrading system was a key factor in consent being granted.
