Dreaming of Grand Designs?

With the housing market stagnant, it is still possible to achieve your 'Grand Designs' dream by re-modelling & extending. Here's our latest offering.........Dunstan Wood

                                         The view from the remodelled kitchen & family space

This Edwardian country house is set in large landscaped gardens on the margins of Burton Village on the Wirral to the East of the Dee Estuary.

Previous alterations & extensions had left a clutter of additions which failed both to visually integrate with the design of the building or to break out of the straight jacket of the original small concrete built service rooms & stairs which constrained the entry & family accommodation.


The extended kitchen space



The clutter was swept away & our design incorporated major structural alterations & opening up of the previously cramped entry areas, providing a bold new reception hall & stairway & re-modelling & extending to create a large family kitchen space, snug, lounge & master bedroom above. The kitchen family suite has an impressive panoramic outlook & terrace; integrating the living space with the garden beyond.



Rear elevation to gardens





The clients have been closely involved in specifying the highest standards of fittings & finishes & together with substantial refurbishments of many aspects, from roof to services; the scheme now results in a very impressive home.
