Replace bow window with bay window
The property I live in had its bay window replaced at some point. Almost every other house in the street has a bay window (my house is in the middle):
Older iterations of Google Street View show what look like foundations of the original bay (which have since been paved over):
I would like to replace my window with a bay window similar to that of my neighbours'. The problem is I haven't the first clue how to go about it and how much it would cost.
Should I be contacting stonemasons / builders / architects? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Comments (11)Just had a thought ! The window seat idea is nice, and they do look pretty, however are really for occasional use, and not comfy for watching T.V. So, do you need more permanent seating or are we just doing 'aesthetically pleasing'? You could have the window seat without the need to move the radiator as it's a messy job and apt to ruin the nice boards already down. Build the seat around the radiator and finish with a Jali panel in front that will let the heat escape. https://www.jali.co.uk/products/fretwork-panels/fretwork-panels.cfm.

Comments (9)Shutters are a classic, timeless look that goes well with various interiors. I found a few client photos with windows similar to yours. We had another client who opted for a boxed pelmet with pinch pleate curtains which could work with your window. It creates a very clean and elegnt look. Plus voiles for extra privacy but still allows light in. Similar but with a voile curtain To save on costs you can forgo the pelemt box, pinch pleats or eyelets look stylish as is....See Morebay window seat storage help!
