Selly Park conservation area remodel

Our clients 6 bedroom house was disjointed and did not work well for them as a family home. Mindful of being within a conservation area and possible planning complications they did not want an extension but wished to open up spaces and reconfigure the Ground, First and Second floors to create a home more suited to Modern Family Living.

They particularly wanted to create a large comfortable family kitchen with glazed doors to open up views of the garden. Additionally we were asked to provide a master bedroom suite with Dressing area and an En-suite and to add amenities to the secondary bedrooms.

These objectives were achieved by inventive re-use of existing space to modernise the layout whilst maintaining the property’s character and many period features.

Large Patio doors added to period property to allow light and contemporary feel to the new open plan kitchen family space
Living Room maintains period features, with baby blue walls up to picture rail & navy blue velvet plush seating
Main Bedroom with dressing table and seating leading to new dressing room
Dressing Room with dark open cabinets, with drawer storage at lower level and bag storage above.

Careful Renovation of all timber sash windows by a specialist, sympathetic redecoration of all areas and the addition of carefully chosen furniture contributed to a successful outcome.

The creation of a utility room within the existing garage (which now benefits from reglazing of the roof to add light) and the conversion of the basement to create a Games room completed the transformation enabling the Family to Enjoy a more convenient, modern way of living within a home which still retained its original personality.
