Brief: Our clients bought this probated 3-bed property, which required a lot of TLC. Their building budget was only £100K; the aspirations though to increase the first floor accommodation to four good-size bedrooms and to extend and remodel the ground floor into an open-plan family space. The existing domestic service infrastructure needed upgrading.

Outcome: We proposed the ground and first floor extensions both to the front and back of the property to answer the brief. The rear extension was a double-storey and the front a single-storey structure both crowned with tiled pitched roofs. As for the floor plans; the house gained an airy and welcoming entrance lobby, utility and a large fully-equipped kitchen with an open-plan lounge and dining area. Over 7m wide sliding-folding patio door connected the interior with the garden. Upstairs, a master bedroom with an en-suite was added as well as three remaining bedrooms reshaped and refurbished. The external appearance of the building was also upgraded.
