Preserving the many architectural and decorative features of this beautiful old house was a priority for the clients. But with two children, they needed to reconfigure the layout to allow for extra bedrooms and to bring light into the darker corners of the house. Adding a two-storey extension over the position of the former garage, and extending the kitchen at the back allowed for a complete transformation of the living space. The added light also ensured that the original features which had been sensitively restored could be properly seen and enjoyed.
