CONVERSION & EXTENSION OF A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY HOME

Somerset

The owners of this beautiful hidden home near Wellington had a vision to covert and extend this characterful house into a modern contemporary family home, whilst still retaining the structure and heart of the original character of the property. Adhering to several planning restrictions this was a remarkable project where we closely collaborated with our clients to create a beautiful home 
that both the client and ourselves can be proud of. 

Extensive internal alterations were undertaken to create modern and larger usable living and leisure spaces, as well as creating new living areas, a large entertaining kitchen with walk-in pantry, new bedrooms with ensuites bathrooms and unique spaces including a new office and cinema room. This involved a complete strip out of the internal fabrics of the building and rebuilding to create three stunning levels withing the home. The entire house had a complete rewire and features some unique and creative lighting throughout.  

The design incorporated a large rear extension to create a stunning large living room, complete with a large set of open corner bi-folds counter levered with sunken tracks giving a seamless transition from indoor to the new outdoor patio area. Extensive joinery craftsmanship was utilised throughout the house, including the new curved stair case, oak floors, oak skirtings and bespoke built in furniture throughout. Working with several specialists throughout this project - the finished finer details are simply stunning.

LANDSCAPING


NEW GAZEBO, EXTENSIVE PAVING, HOT TUB & DRIVEWAY LANDSCAPING

Our clients had an amazing vision to create an open plan home, allowing seamless movement from the inside to the outside. The outside landscaping has been carefully planned to allow multiple entertaining areas, whilst ensuring privacy and maintaining the original garden design features including a pond, walled garden and lovely cottage gardens.


A beautiful new wooden slat walled covered outdoor dining gazebo area, provides maximum privacy without compromising the beautiful garden views. Retaining walls were created with new steps allowing easier access to the garden and hot tub areas.


We undertook a number of extensive landscaping projects including paved patio areas to the rear new extension, with built in steps and retaining walls leading up to the garden and hot tub areas. To the kitchen and front areas of the home, all the patio areas feature bespoke glass balustrades created to allow all weather movement around the home and a safe area for the family pets. The driveway was refreshed in fresh stone and the retaining walls leading along the driveway were rendered to give a modern and sleek entrance befitting of the finished home.
