Alteration to existing property, Within a Conservation Area
Project Description: Conversion and Modernisation of a 1960's House, Epping Chelmsford Location: Epping Chelmsford, Essex Project Overview: This project involved a comprehensive conversion and modernisation of a classic 1960's house in Epping Chelmsford. The extensive transformation included full internal redesigns and the repositioning of the staircase to create a more inviting entrance hallway and improved bedroom layouts upstairs. Additionally, double storey extensions were added to both the front and rear of the property. A striking cantilevered glazed rear extension, featuring wrap-around glazing, was incorporated to provide a dramatic 'wow' factor and a seamless connection to the garden, significantly enhancing the home's appeal and value. Scope of Work: - Full Internal Modernisation: Redesigned the interior layout to optimize space and functionality, including repositioning the staircase to improve the entrance and upper-level bedroom configurations. - Double Storey Extensions: Executed double storey additions at the front and rear, expanding the living areas while maintaining the architectural character of the property. - Cantilevered Glazed Rear Extension: Developed a modern, cantilevered extension with wrap-around glazing to flood the interior with natural light and establish a strong connection to the garden. - Comprehensive Conversion: Transformed a 1960's house into a contemporary home that meets modern living standards while preserving its unique character. Outcome: The modernisation and conversion have significantly improved the functionality, aesthetics, and market value of the property. The innovative design solutions and impressive extensions have created a highly desirable, contemporary home that offers both luxurious living and a strong connection to its outdoor space.
