Key Design Features
The original chalet bungalow features a modest forward-facing dormer window, maintaining its authentic form. The primary objective of the project was to optimise the loft space by installing a full-width rear dormer, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. Additionally, a pivotal aspect of the design involved replacing the existing small conservatory with a thoughtfully planned extension, seamlessly integrating new living spaces with the original architecture.
Bifold doors span the entire width of the property providing a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. These doors open out to the picturesque tree-lined garden. Additionally, a flat rooflight crowns the space with abundant natural light.
Moving Inside
Internally, the open-plan layout embodies a distinctive broken plan concept, where the main living area seamlessly integrates with the kitchen and dining spaces, creating a dynamic yet harmonious living environment. At the heart of the kitchen stands the focal point; an oversized island complete with a breakfast bar, offering both functional workspace and a gathering hub for family and friends.
Enhanced by new timber flooring running seamlessly from front to back, the space exudes warmth.
Adding to the allure of the home, feature lighting elegantly illuminates the island, casting a warm glow and accentuating its prominence within the room. Meanwhile, in the simple yet stylish ground floor shower room and W.C., vertical metro tiles in a soothing green hue from Fired Earth inject a touch of contemporary flair.

Route to Planning:
Both the rear extension and loft dormer were completed through a certificate of lawfulness through the properties permitted development rights, falling under classes A, B & C. Due to the depth of the extension a prior notification was required for that part of the scheme.
