1930s Cottage Renovation and Rear Extension

Wye, Kent

The Brief:

Our client approached us with a clear goal to give new life to a tired 1930 cottage, transforming it into a light-filled, modern family home with more space, better layout, and improved energy efficiency. They needed a complete home renovation and a rear extension to expand the ground floor layout.

Our Solution:

We provided a comprehensive managed solution overseeing the entire process to final completion. Our services included ensuring compliance with planning and building regulations and managing utilities upgrades.

Scope of works included:

  • Demolition of existing one-storey orangery
  • Single and double storey rear extensions
  • Full electrical rewire and plumbing upgrades
  • Installation of new triple-glazed windows
  • Addition of bifold doors, Juliet balcony, and lantern roof light
  • Internal reconfiguration to add three new bathrooms
  • New kitchen installation with underfloor heating

We worked closely with the client at every stage, keeping communication clear, timelines on track, and disruption to a minimum.

The Result:

Despite challenges, including Covid-19, we completed the project on schedule, with clients moving back in October 2020. The property was completely transformed -inside and out. The new open-plan kitchen and dining space now opens onto the garden, making it the heart of the home. High-quality finishes throughout and a smarter layout added significant value and comfort.

“Alongside their in-house expertise across trades, Dean’s project management capabilities are amongst the best we have ever encountered. It’s largely thanks to these that our project ran smoothly and to deadline from day one. The outcome is exceptional and we will be using them for any future works undertaken. Highly recommended.”
