Our clients appointed Croft
Architecture to come up with a
design concept that would replace
the rarely used old outbuildings,
garages and dated lean-to at
the rear of the property with a
modern, light-filled, open plan
home extension, creating a design
solution that responds to the needs
of the family, at work, rest and play,
for now, and in the foreseeable
future.
Our clients enjoy cooking and
spend a lot of time in the kitchen,
therefore they aspired for the
kitchen to be enjoyable, functional
and the focal point on their newly
extended home.

They also wanted direct access to
the new space from the rear of the
property to be able to unload their
shopping into the kitchen.
We requested a Certificate of
Lawful Development from the
local authority to ensure that the
extension that we'd designed could
be legally built within the permitted
development framework, meaning
no planning permission was
required.
During the initial stages of
the building work, a well was
discovered between the house and
the adjoining property, which were
once a large detached home.
