Current Situation
Private Residence
A new open plan living/dining space will be created via the erection of a brand-new rear extension.
As part of the rear extension, there will also be more space toward the side to accommodate multiple uses of the space.
We discussed enlarging the roof with a hip to a gable loft conversion to get the space for another bedroom with an en-suite in the roof area.
Several rear dormers in the area are commonly used to accommodate more bedrooms.
Private Residence
The new scheme maintains its front driveway area where there is space for one car to be parked.
However, the client has also discussed that they are happy to pave the whole front garden to accommodate an additional car.
Bike access to the property may be needed, in which case a side gate may be helpful to avoid moving bikes through the house.
Currently, they are stored next to the garage.
The property may benefit from allocated bike parking space behind the gate, which can only be accessed by a security code system.
