This extension and refurbishment on attractive Cabra Drive makes imaginative use of materials, with contemporary detailing that complements the building’s historic character.

A two storey extension to the side creates a double fronted house and blends seamlessly with the existing; looking like it has always been this way. The front door was moved over to create a side light and the hall inside expanded to unlock the layout of a previously disjointed ground floor, creating an instinctive flow through to the rear.

A series of windows and doors open on to a sunny patio, the new kitchen, sitting, dining going across the width of the house succeeds in maximising the garden and the views of.

First floor a new double aspect master en suite stretches front to back and a large roof light over the landing makes the centre of the house bright all day. Access to the attic was improved for daily use.
