Residential Architects in Cropston
Serving Cropston, Bradgate Park Fringe & Rural Charnwood
Planning a home extension, layout upgrade, or bespoke build in Cropston? At AM2 Architects, we specialise in design-led residential architecture that enhances the homes — and landscapes — of Leicestershire’s most treasured rural villages. Whether you're improving a stone cottage, reworking a family home, or planning a discreet new dwelling near Bradgate Park, we combine design quality with sensitive, sustainable thinking.
Why Choose AM2 Architects for Your Cropston Project?
With its close ties to Bradgate Park, Charnwood Forest, and surrounding conservation zones, Cropston is a setting where design must tread carefully. Homes here need to be intelligent, contextual, and calm — and planning must be approached with clarity. That’s where we come in:
Conservation & Countryside Expertise: We work closely with Charnwood Borough Council, understanding how to approach extensions and new development in sensitive rural settings.
Design That Lives Well: We focus on how your home flows, feels, and performs — not just how much it adds in square metres.
Client-Led Process: Whether you have a clear idea or need early advice, we tailor the journey to your needs, respecting your vision and the setting equally.
Our Architecture Services in Cropston
1. Home Extensions
We design additions that feel like they’ve always belonged — whether you're looking for a vaulted garden room, family living extension, or a home office suite. Every design complements the character of your home and the local environment.
2. Internal Reconfiguration
Many rural homes in Cropston have untapped potential within the existing walls. We redesign floorplans to improve light, movement, and function — often with dramatic impact and minimal footprint changes.
3. New Build Homes
If you're building on a garden plot, replacing a tired structure, or planning in open countryside, we create bespoke homes that are both planning-compliant and personally tailored.
4. Listed & Conservation Area Works
From traditional cottages to early 20th-century properties, we help you adapt and upgrade your home while honouring its heritage. We manage listed building consents and conservation negotiations in full.
5. Sustainable Architecture
We design homes that are built to last — using breathable materials, passive design techniques, and low-energy detailing that doesn't compromise on comfort or charm.
