Specialist New Builds & Conversions in the Cotswolds
Working within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) requires a builder with technical rigour and a deep respect for natural materials.
Sage Developments specialises in high-specification residential projects across South Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds. Whether executing a “barn-style” new build or a complex conversion, we deliver a “smooth journey” through the stringent planning requirements and technical challenges inherent in these protected landscapes.
Cotswold & Rural Expertise
- Modern Barn-Style Architecture: Creating modern legacies that harmonise with the environment using Cotswold stone, cedar cladding, and zinc roofing.
- AONB Compliance: Working fluently with local planning authorities to ensure high-specification designs meet the aesthetic and environmental standards of the region.
- High-Performance Building Envelopes: Utilizing advanced insulation and specialist roofing, such as Alwitra membranes, to ensure thermal stability in exposed rural locations.

Featured Project: Stonehurst, Batheaston
Our work on Stonehurst exemplifies our ability to deliver sustainable, contemporary architecture within the sensitive fringes of the Cotswolds. This low-energy modern new build combines high-performance thermal engineering with a design that honours its elevated, rural position, proving that modern legacies can be both bold and environmentally responsible.
