​
Purchased through a property finder, the property had in fact been on the open market for about 6 months, but a sensible offer had not been achieved. The previous owners had started the double storey extension but it had not been completed and most purchasers could only get lending as a 2 bedroom house, not the 4 bedrooms of the proposed new layout.
​
Apart from completing the extension work, we opened up the rear part of the house between the dining area and garage to provide a large kitchen/diner with sliding folding doors looking out onto the 180 ft garden.
​
The staircase was moved to give a completely different ground floor perspective and created a lot of useful space. The ground floor bathroom was removed and made way for a utility room, separate from the kitchen.
​
The rest of the inside and outside was finished to a high standard without compromising on the budget. A sale price of £490,000 exceeded the original forecast of £425,000 due to the market and finished product.
