Halstead Conservation Area, Sevenoaks.

Contract value, t.b.c.

Halstead is situated within the Halstead Conservation Area and the Metropolitan Green Belt. The area surrounding the site comprises mainly of similar sized houses with long rear gardens.
The house is constructed with a mix of materials that include brick, timber and render.

On the ground floor which is very disjointed there is a small kitchen and separate living and dining rooms. There is also an internal garage / storage area, accessed from the driveway which its original intent was for use as a garage. A car cannot fit within the garage therefore it is an unused space within the family home.

The existing client wanted to develop and refurbish the existing property. The proposal is to build two small rear extensions to provide improved living spaces. The size and scale of the proposed extensions are in keeping and subservient with the existing dwelling. They will be constructed in materials that match the existing dwelling and houses in the surrounding area.

The existing layout does not suit the size of the property. The main issue is the existing internal garage that is unfit for purpose, therefore the proposal is to use this area for a large family kitchen and to help improve the layout within the ground floor living spaces.

Ampthill, Bedfordshire

Conservation Area

A small cottage located in the Ampthill Conservation Area close to Ampthill Park, Bedfordshire. The access to the property is via the footpath leading from the top of Park Hill and there is no vehicular access to the property.

The proposal is to build a two-storey extension to provide improved living spaces and bedroom sizes. The existing layout does not suit the size of the property. The main issue is the existing staircase is positioned in the middle of the house, which divides the first floor into rooms that result in two single bedrooms. The staircase has now been re-positionedto achieve three larger bedrooms and this will create a more open plan layout on the ground floor.

As access and completion times were the main issues for the client, the extension was constructed in structural insulated panels (SIPs)

The client has a disability and therefore mobility is an issue. The proposed layout has been designed for easy access by having an open plan layout and complies to The Equality Act 2010. The new master bedroom in the new side extension will include a through floor wheelchair lift to enable the clients access between floor levels.

A planning application and building control submission was completed for this project.

Work is progressing on site, completion photographs to follow.
