Comprehensive redevelopment of an existing 1950s dwelling to create a contemporary, energy-efficient family home. The scheme involved demolition, extension and internal reconfiguration to almost triple the size of the original property while delivering a coherent and modern design.

Scope of work

Demolition & Extensions

  • Demolition of the existing double attached single-storey garage.
  • Construction of a new three-storey side extension and smaller single-storey extensions to both the front and rear.
  • Enlarged building envelope designed to provide a balanced and visually coherent appearance.

Internal Reconfiguration

  • Relocation of the main staircase to re-centre circulation within the new layout.
  • Creation of a double-height entrance hallway featuring the new staircase and glazed frontage to the driveway.
  • Extensive reconfiguration of the existing house to integrate new and existing spaces.

New Accommodation

  • Ground Floor: Large open-plan kitchen, dining and family room with views over the private garden and surrounding farmland.
  • First Floor: Spacious master suite with glazed Juliet balcony, guest bedroom and en-suite.
  • Second Floor/Attic: Additional accommodation including a loft room for use as an office or children’s games room, with natural light provided by Velux and gable windows.

Energy Efficiency & Finishes

  • Complete re-wiring and re-plumbing throughout the property.
  • Installation of high levels of insulation as part of an “insulation first” energy strategy.
  • Removal of existing upper-level tile hanging to allow for the application of external wall insulation to the retained structure.
  • Triple-glazed windows and underfloor heating installed to create a highly energy-efficient family home.
