Our client had just bought the house when she appointed us. There hadn’t been any work completed for quite some time, so extensive electrical and plumbing work was required.
​
While the property has a beautiful garden and stunning traditional features, there were several issues to be resolved to turn the house into a home for our client.
We improved the layout by creating a new kitchen and dining space on the ground floor, where the open area was able to take advantage of the existing large windows and great natural light.
​
There was a WC and utility at the rear of the ground floor, which was a small, dark and cramped space. We opened up the space and obtained Planning Permission to fit a new traditional glazed window and door out to the garden. The room was then redesigned to become a lovely study, allowing our client to work in natural light with a beautiful garden view.
A large spare bedroom with WC was converted into a new luxurious bathroom, adjacent to the main bedroom. Dark green feature tiles and stunning patterned wallpaper were used to bring character and joy into the space – we and the client are especially thrilled with this room.
The lower ground floor room was redesigned as a bedroom with a compact ensuite, creating a separate studio space with its own dedicated entrance. Thorough redecoration, extensive plumbing and electrical work was then completed throughout - resulting in a beautiful, light and welcoming new home that the client is happily settling into.
