A porch with a purpose

We transformed a tricky entrance into a practical, well-designed porch that adds both function and character to the home. To stay true to the original Cotswold feel, we reused the existing front door — giving it a new purpose in a setting. The result is a spacious, sheltered porch that feels like it’s always been part of the house.
