Making more of your Cockermouth home
Cockermouth's older centre has stone and rendered homes. Matching the existing materials is part of planning an extension that belongs with the house.
For a kitchen extension, think about how the new room will connect to the garden and the rest of the house, not just how much floor space it adds.
Considering two storeys? Include both floors when using our calculator.

Materials, doorways and the outdoor space
The meeting of the Cocker and Derwent is part of Cockermouth’s setting, while the older market-town buildings include Georgian and Victorian stone and rendered homes. For an extension to an older property, show both the whole elevation and a close view of the existing masonry.
A connection to the garden is about levels as well as glazing. Show the height of the current threshold, any steps and the part of the garden you want to use. The plan should explain the journey from cooking to eating to sitting outside.
Papcastle and Brigham are included in our coverage, alongside the surrounding villages. If your home is a newer brick or block building, tell Chris about its existing finish rather than assuming details from an old stone house apply.
An upstairs addition should be described with the rooms below it. Put both proposed floor areas on your sketch, mark the staircase and identify existing doorways. If you already have drawings, explain which version reflects the arrangement you actually want built.
