Hedsor Corner, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire
Striking Contemporary New Build
The Brief
The owners of this property sought to completely reimagine it by replacing an outdated bungalow with a spacious, modern three-storey home. The plans called for a property that would blend open-plan living with functional family spaces, take advantage of the site’s panoramic farmland views, and provide contemporary finishes throughout. A new driveway, patio, and substantial retaining walls were also essential to maximise the usability and visual appeal of the plot.
The Solution
As the principal contractor, Fresh Approach Design & Build managed the project from demolition to handover. The original bungalow was carefully taken down to make way for an insulated concrete form (ICF) construction - a method chosen for its strength, energy-efficiency, and speed of build. Trusted trade partners were engaged to execute every stage to the highest quality.
The bespoke interior specification included four well-appointed bedrooms and three luxury bathrooms, all seamlessly integrated for both style and comfort. The open-plan kitchen and dining area formed the heart of the home, with cantilevered rear bi-fold doors opening fully to embrace the natural landscape. Detailed landscaping, a new driveway, patio, and robust retaining walls completed the vision, ensuring the home would be as functional externally as it was impressive inside.
The Outcome
The property now reflects the owners' vision for a bright, contemporary home that connects stylishly with its surroundings. The innovative ICF construction ensures exceptional thermal performance, sound insulation, and long-term durability.
Clever use of bi-folding doors at the rear maximises rural views and floods the main living spaces with natural light, while the open-plan layout throughout the kitchen and dining area provides a flexible space for family life and entertaining. The external works unify the plot, with a new driveway for ample parking, porcelain-paved patio areas for outdoor leisure, and expertly constructed retaining walls ensuring landscape integrity.
The project demonstrates the skills of Fresh Approach as trusted builders in Buckinghamshire. From concept to completion, they meticulously managed every detail, delivering a remarkable, energy-efficient home that will serve its family for generations.
