The Baptist Church, Kirkby in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire
The Baptists Church in Kirkby is a charming, modest building. Originally single storey, the chapel was extended in height in the 1800’s. There is an adjacent cottage which formed part of this development. The buildings have stood empty for many years, and have therefore been subjected to weather damage and vandalism.
Our brief was to convert the chapel and adjacent cottage into three dwellings. With planning restrictions, the front elevations were kept fairly modest and in character. However, we added sun room extensions to the rear with ‘cathedral’ type glazing to take advantage of the views; and provide a ‘wow factor’.
