Godfrey Fry – Property Planning, Design & Drawings

  • Need more space in your home? additional bedroom? bigger kitchen?
  • Need more light or easier access?
  • Need a downstairs WC and not sure where to install it?
  • Need advice on any structural changes or layout alterations?

I provide practical, functional and above all “buildable” solutions to all your domestic living space quandaries from 20 years’ experience taking projects from design through to completion.

I offer the service of helping clients with planning applications and layout drawings for extensions, redesigns and alterations to their properties with an emphasis on practical design.

I have well established links with structural engineers and building control inspectors creating a smooth running operation.

No job too small but larger projects welcome.

  • "“Godfrey transformed a dark ancient cottage into an airy roomy house with the minimum of fuss and disruption. Brilliantly designed with imaginative spatial awareness- truly inventive and clever”. The build grew organically, was delivered kindly, well and with great humour, on budget and in exceptional keeping with the beautiful old place. I cannot recommend his vision and practice highly enough."

  • “We didn’t believe it was possible to fit a toilet and washbasin into our understairs cupboard. Godfrey seemed to create space from nowhere. Brilliant result.”

  • “Godfrey offered creative options that enabled us to explore how we could sympathetically upgrade our 17th century property whilst also bringing it into the 21st century.  His designs allowed us to build a light and spacious contemporary extension that met all our needs and fulfilled the requirements of the planners and listed buildings consent, as well as exceeding our own expectations.  His patience with our own decision making process was extensive, as was his vast experience with different materials and relative costs, which proved invaluable, both financially and mentally!”

    Jon and Jenni Toulson, Ash Priors
  • "Godfrey turned our kitchen from a dark room into a bright, open space that transformed the look and feel of the downstairs of our house. He was a pleasure to work with, advising us on all the different options available and took care of the whole process for us, from planning and design right through to project completion. If you're in need of some innovative thinking for your home project, I would recommend Godfrey without hesitation."

  • "We asked Godfrey to look at developing a stable space into accommodation. Faced with various restrictions with bats and Natural England, Godfrey steered us through planning with a calm head and a sense of humour, solving problems rather than creating them. He came up with a great design and plan quickly and cost-effectively. We always recommend him."

    James Rundell, Waterrow
  • "We were keen on extending the back of our property by adding a conservatory, but did not want a standard rectangular looking one. We employed Godfrey to come up with a design, and the attached photo was the outcome, which was and still is amazing. It was a complicated design, but Godfrey took this in his stride and provided us with a living space, which we love and continue to enjoy."

    Paul Cowling, Wiveliscombe
