Our client was looking for an additional bedroom to suit their growing family in the most cost effective way possible and suggested a loft conversion.
A new ensuite bedroom within the roof and a rear extension with internal alterations transform this home for our client.
The existing home is 2 bed terraced house in the highly desirable 'Bishy Road' area of York. Built in the late 1800's it has a layout common to many similar properties in the city wih large windows, generous ceiling heights and a smattering of attractive detailing.

Our client had inherited a beautiful handmade oak kitchen when buying the house, but its problematic layout and fussy circulation routes were causing them headaches. We undertook a full survey of the kitchen casework and created bespoke models of the kitchen and utility units. The remainder of the house was also surveyed to facilitate planning of the future possible extension.
