  • The Designs

    The designs include enlarging the existing cellar to make a considerable basement for common family use, with double height space and slide connecting the kitchen and sunken living space. The designs also create a large rear extension for a kitchen and dining space, and renovating the upper floors for bedrooms and a study in the loft space.

    The property is an end-of-terrace 3-storey [excluding undeveloped loft and basement] mid-Victorian house, built around 1866.
