‘ We updated a period terrace with a modern extension'

House sitting for friends led to a big change for Will and Romy. ‘We loved the area and realised we could afford a house here for the same price as our flat in northwest London,’ says Will. The couple bought this terrace in 2014.

COMPLETE OVERHAUL The original footprint didn’t give the couple space for the kitchen-diner they were after, plus they were keen for the boys to have rooms of their own as well as wanting an office space for themselves. ‘There was an old extension with a kitchen and a bathroom, but it didn’t work for us.’

GETTING TO WORK ‘We knocked the old extension down and put a temporary kitchen in the second reception room. We worked in two phases: first we stripped everything out of the house and redid the electrics and plumbing; second, we worked on the extension to create the kitchen-diner.’
