This double-fronted six bedroom home has recently been purchased by a couple with three children who want to create a family home that is tailor-made to suit the way they live their life.

There is already a small storeroom basement at the front of the house, which takes up about one-third of the footprint. We will be extending under the full footprint and adding two large living rooms, as well as a wine room, a store room and a plant room.

The ground floor will benefit from a ‘T-shaped’ extension to transform the back of the house into a large kitchen-dining room with doors through to a study. The front rooms will them become more formal living rooms for the adults or guests.

Upstairs will be transformed from four bedrooms to a spacious master bedroom suite complete with a spacious en-suite and an enviable walk-in wardrobe, while that second and third bedrooms will both benefit from the addition of an en-suite bathrooms.

Meanwhile the loft currently houses two bedrooms and a kitchenette; which will be transformed to a shower room, making it much more practical.
