This detached private house has experienced considerable change over time, including the addition of several flat-roofed extensions to the north side and its division into two separate apartments. These later extensions were constructed to a poor standard and suffered from significant water ingress, dampness, and dry rot.
The project involved reconfiguring the internal layout and extending the main body of the house to create healthier and more functional living spaces. The previously unused roof void was converted to provide new sleeping accommodation, enhancing the overall capacity of the home.
By improving the spatial arrangement and connections within the house, the design now fosters a stronger relationship between the interior and the surrounding garden. The result is a home better suited to the needs of modern family life, offering improved comfort, flow, and adaptability.
