Grove House

John & Julie wanted us to replace the existing, poor-quality extensions at the back of their new home with something that gave them a better connection to their garden.

They had just moved to Oakham to begin their retirement in a new town. Their new house had all the space they needed and a lovely garden. But the connection between the two wasn’t good. Their kitchen felt dark and was cut off from their garden by the extensions.

We helped them to create a spacious and light-filled kitchen/diner which radically improved the connection to their garden. Large and carefully positioned windows direct views down the length of the garden to make you feel like you’re sat in amongst the planting. Whilst large roof lights flood the old kitchen with light.

High-quality Velfac windows and a highly insulated construction mean this extension will be a wonderfully warm and comfortable place to spend time in during their retirement.

We also helped the couple to future-proof their home by transforming the garage into a new snug which they can transform into a ground-floor bedroom with ensuite in the future.

We worked with John & Julie to achieve planning for their project before producing a detailed set of construction drawings for their contractor to use.
