I count myself as very lucky to have found Helen Brunskill as my architect. The small extension I asked her to design for me, was potentially very controversial, since my cottage is in the middle of a Grade II listed terrace. I was very concerned, too, that it should be in keeping with the rest of the cottage, and its neighbours. But I was not well, and needed her to cover for me with the local Conservation Officer and planners, and support me in dealing with the builders. It proved to be a far from straightforward project, despite its modest size. In all technical aspects, Helen was clearly well on top of it all, and sorted issues out with great responsiveness and professionalism. She was a delight to work with.

The end result is a truly lovely new room which has added considerable value both internally and externally. Neighbours who work at a senior level in the property world, have commented on how much additional market value it will also have achieved.
