Residential Architects in Anstey
Serving Anstey, Thurcaston & the Edge of Charnwood Forest (amongst other locations).
Looking to extend, renovate, or build in Anstey? At AM2 Architects, we bring a thoughtful approach to residential architecture — combining strong design principles, planning clarity, and a client-first process. Whether you’re enhancing a period home in the heart of the village, updating a post-war semi, or planning a bespoke home near the countryside fringes, we help you move forward with calm and confidence.
Why Choose AM2 Architects for Your Anstey Home?
Anstey is a gateway between Leicester and Charnwood Forest, blending suburban convenience with rural charm. That mix brings both opportunity and planning complexity — from heritage restrictions near Bradgate Park to site-specific development challenges. Here’s how we help:
Local Insight & Planning Experience: We understand the nuances of Charnwood Borough Council’s policies — especially for extensions, infill developments, and heritage-adjacent zones.
Lifestyle-Led Design: We don’t just add square metres — we design spaces that work better. Our homes flow well, use light cleverly, and reflect how you want to live.
Calm, Transparent Process: Whether you’re early in your journey or halfway through, we make each step clear — from design decisions to planning submission and build detail.
Our Architecture Services in Anstey
1. Home Extensions
Create a more comfortable, open, and functional home with a carefully designed extension. From kitchen-diner additions to two-storey upgrades, we match scale and materials to suit your property and its setting.
2. Internal Reconfigurations
Often, the best transformation happens within your existing footprint. We redesign layouts to unlock flow, bring in light, and adapt older homes for modern family life.
3. New Build Homes
Thinking of building on a garden plot, backland site, or edge-of-village location? We design context-sensitive homes that balance aesthetic integrity with day-to-day comfort — and help you secure planning approval.
4. Conservation & Heritage Projects
If you're near protected zones or working with older buildings, we provide sensitive design solutions, manage planning requirements, and liaise with conservation officers as needed.
5. Sustainable Design
We build efficiency and comfort into every project — using breathable construction, orientation strategies, and low-impact materials where appropriate.
