Delightful renovation and extension of a Victorian family house

Extensive renovation of this traditional Victorian house has created a beautiful contemporary five-bedroom family home.

A large extension incorporates a new indoor swimming pool and contemporary kitchen in cherry wood, complete with heated stone flooring.

The original character of the house has been kept by retaining period features such as the beautiful central staircase and the Victorian fireplaces. Externally, the brickwork has been cleaned and the chimneys rebuilt to match the new extension.

The family are delighted with the high standard of workmanship on their home, the customer service they received and the consideration given to them.
