The client asked for a large open plan kitchen/living/dining area and to create an additional bedroom in the loft. The proposal included widening the narrow entrance hall and converting the kitchen into a new study/utility room. The modest zinc roofed rear extension allows for a comfortable kitchen area, open to the living and dining room. The new loft stair continues along the same line as the existing stair, which meant that little space was lost from the second bedroom. The new loft bedroom is generously proportioned, and has a large en-suite under the roof slope.
