Alteration to existing property
Merchant House , 5 East St Helen Street , Abingdon , Oxfordshire , OX14 5EG , United Kingdom
The two-storey rear extension with a partial single storey is a construction project that expands the existing building towards the rear. It includes several new rooms and enhances the functionality and living space of the house. On the ground floor, the extension incorporates a new kitchen, a spacious living/dining area, a utility room, and a study. These additions provide ample space for cooking, dining, relaxation, and work. The kitchen becomes a central hub for culinary activities, while the living/dining area offers a comfortable space for socializing and entertaining guests. The utility room serves as a practical area for laundry and storage, while the study provides a dedicated workspace. Moving upstairs, the extension features a new bedroom and an ensuite bathroom. This additional bedroom offers privacy and comfort, serving as a retreat for the occupants. The ensuite bathroom provides convenience and luxury, directly accessible from the bedroom. A key feature of the extension is a rooflight located on the single-storey section, positioned above the dining table. This rooflight allows natural light to flood the dining area, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere. It adds an element of architectural interest while connecting the indoors with the outdoors. Overall, the two-storey rear extension with a partial single storey provides a well-designed and functional space, incorporating a new kitchen, living/dining area, utility room, study, bedroom, and ensuite. The rooflight above the dining table adds a striking feature and enhances the overall aesthetics and natural lighting of the extension.
