The original ground floor layout underwent a thoughtful transformation. The former rear bedroom was repurposed into a light-filled dining room, creating a more formal eating space. Crucially, the wall separating the kitchen was removed, resulting in a lovely, expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area, now boasting direct access and delightful views to the very private garden to the rear. A small, carefully considered side extension was added to provide convenient side access to the property and a practical utility room directly off the kitchen, streamlining daily living. While internal transformations were key, the design also included a proposal to extend the existing garage to the rear and convert it into a self-contained granny annex. This thoughtfully planned addition would have provided independent living space for family members, further enhancing the property's multi-generational appeal and flexibility. Enhancing Comfort and Value Throughout the design process, a strong emphasis was placed on thermal upgrades to ensure the long-term comfort and energy efficiency of the home. The proposal included a complete re-roofing and rendering of the property, along with the installation of new, high-performance windows and doors throughout, contributing to a more sustainable and comfortable living environment. To ensure a smooth progression, both Planning and Building Regulation Approvals were submitted concurrently. A comprehensive CDM Checklist was prepared for the builder, and necessary Party Wall agreements were put in place, demonstrating a proactive and detail-oriented approach to project delivery.
