The owners of this Arts & Crafts Edwardian house have extended to create a beautiful L-shaped layout to accommodate a bespoke new kitchen, dining and living area

Sociable Space

​We’d been looking for a period property in the area for about two years before buying this house in December 2016. Our last home was a ‘70s build with a large, very modern extension. It was such a large and open plan minimalist space that I found hard to furnish. This time I wanted to create a more homely layout with natural sections while still having lots of light and openness.’

Deciding to go for it and demolishing a previous extension, the couple went straight into plans with DMVF Architects to create a spectacular open plan space in an L-shape configuration, creating a courtyard between the back of the original house and the living area of the new extension. ‘The original kitchen was tiny with a small island and really tall country style cupboards, so all this came away and was replaced with a larger footprint for the new kitchen leading to the dining area with a sitting area round the corner. It’s a narrow site so we made the most of it and its south-facing position with an extension in dark brickwork with a bronze roof, sympathetic to the original house while adding a contemporary feel.’
