Why Choose AM2 Architects for Your Kirby Muxloe Project?
Kirby Muxloe blends leafy village living with fast access to Leicester, making it popular with families and downsizers alike. But with this appeal comes planning sensitivity — from conservation areas near the castle to strict design controls on infill and character upgrades. Here’s how we support you:
Local Planning Insight: We’re familiar with Blaby District Council’s requirements, helping you anticipate challenges and avoid delays — especially around heritage zones and street scene changes.
Timeless, Livable Design: We prioritise how your space feels and functions, not just how it looks — helping you enjoy more light, comfort, and long-term value.
A Calm, Structured Process: Whether you're just exploring ideas or ready to build, we tailor each stage to your needs, budget, and planning context.
Kirkby Muxloe — Family Home Extension
Status: Planning Approved
Scope: Rear and Side Extension | Games Room | Glass-Walled Garage | Internal Reconfiguration
Location: Kirkby Muxloe, Leicestershire (Conservation Area)
Client: Private Residential
This residential extension was designed for a family rooted in Kirkby Muxloe, who loved their home and community but had outgrown its spatial limitations. Unable to find a suitable alternative nearby, they chose to reimagine their current home—adding the space and functionality required for the next stage of family life.
Set within a designated Conservation Area, the design required a highly considered approach. Every design decision—from massing and materiality to layout and visual impact—had to be clearly justified and sensitively aligned with local character and planning policy. Our strategy focused on retaining street presence while reworking the rear and side footprint, maintaining architectural coherence and respecting historical context.
The proposal includes:
A light-filled open-plan kitchen-dining-living space that connects to the garden
A dedicated games room for family recreation
A bespoke garage with a glazed internal wall, doubling as a car display gallery visible from inside the home
Reconfigured internal zones to improve circulation, daylight access, and long-term adaptability
This gallery showcases the approved scheme at planning stage, illustrating how contemporary family needs can be met within a historically sensitive setting—balancing lifestyle ambition with conservation integrity.
