Key statistics – L shape extension to create dedicated spaces

A typical house with ill considered additions made by previous owners meant that none of the spaces really functioned well, a dark kitchen made worse with a bolt on cold conservatory and an external dark toilet and store room, at upper level a small dormer was limited by a chimney breast left in situ. We transformed the space by linking the ground floor with a large L shaped extension, with a large functional utility, leading to a shower room through to a home gym with views out to the garden. Beyond this a lage open plan kitchen with full height sliding doors draws light into what was once a dark space. At roof level, the dormer was extended to the maximum permitted and a large study that was designed to be a bedroom when needed was created.
