Waverley
£100,000 to £249,999
The clients wished to create an extension which dramatically contrasts with their existing house and they were inspired to create an Art Deco design. The extension provides a sitting area and study space which flows from the existing kitchen. The existing kitchen underwent a complete makeover; internal and external walls were knocked down, a new beautiful larder space was added, and floor to ceiling cupboards provided a multitude of storage options.A light natural stone is used on the floor throughout, helping the spaces flow seamlessly into one another. A new utility room with a vaulted ceiling was built in a darker corner of the site. Natural light now floods the rooms through the new crittal doors, glazed roof lanterns and a series of windows that frame views of the garden. A cosy window seat is positioned near the woodburning stove to provide the perfect reading area on a wintery afternoon.
