This property was originally a semi detached cottage built in 1890, with a further building added to the left side in about 1950 both buildings were attach but had separate stair cases.
The vendors purchased the property in 2000 as one address and approached EK CONSTRUCTION for help to turn these two buildings into one big family home, and as you can see by the pictures, it was quite a task!

We started at the top by removing both existing roofs to construct a new one.

We could then move to the inside. First, knocking down one side of the cottage to turn both buildings into one. Now we had our empty shell we were able to start constructing the family home.

The entire upper floor had to be reconstructed to provide four large bedrooms and a family bathroom complete with separate shower. Also a new staircase had to be erected On the ground floor we removed the existing bathroom to make the kitchen into a stunning large galley kitchen. The lounge still had the existing stairs from the cottage in it so these were removed to really open up this living space. The other reception space was turned into a separate, spacious dining room.

The house was then re wired throughout. All new windows were fitted and a new heating system was installed. The whole of the inside of the house was plastered and decorated with skirting boards and internal doors fitted.

We thought we were finished but the vendors had one more plan for their already stunning family home...an office!

They felt that their double garage, although very handy, was rather a waste of space, so after obtaining planning permission came to us with the plan to turn one side of the garage into their office finishing the home off perfectly.

It started as quite a project and a fantastic challenge! But as you can now see it was definitely worth it...

The vendors are now the very proud owners of a beautiful four bedroom family home.
