This project was undertaken by Craymanor Limited with the original instructions to find the design solu­tion to enable the creation of a large kitchen/dinning room, playroom and utility room.

This was done by creating a large single storey rear extension retaining the character of the existing dwelling and adding an extension of significant character and interest utilising second hand matching roof tiles and selecting new brickwork which once weathered would replicate the existing building in both texture and colour.

Internally a fantastic kitchen/dining room was created and to give additional day­light to the centre of this extremely large kitchen an orangery style roof lantern was created with dramatic visual impact internally but completely hidden between twin pitched roofs externally.

The added feature of the alterations and extensions to this home were to create a separate dining room from the existing kitchen and to retain the existing valuable ground floor study area with period features being recreated throughout.

Craymanor Limited spent the best part of a year reaching design solutions which met the client’s needs in
full and the client (who has used Craymanor Limited previously to carry out a first floor extension and various repairs around the property) is absolutely delighted with this stunning extension to their home which not only significantly improves the usability and floor space for this family property but also represents excellent value for money and signifi­cantly increasing the value of this home.

Craymanor Limited has worked previously for this client to repair flood damage and returned to give planning advice on this fantastic two storey side extension and kitchen extension.

Craymanor Limited worked at this property three years ago in dealing with some major flood repair to the lounge and play room which is shown under a separate brochure.

Craymanor Limited then returned and gave planning advice for a two storey side extension and kitchen extension enabling the creation of two additional bedrooms, two en-suites and a dressing room at first floor level together with a new staircase, new study, boiler room, boot room, utility room and a large kitchen and family room at ground floor level complete with external landscaping.

Particular detail was given to the design features including incorporating a fantastic balcony to the master bedroom, a beautiful handmade kitchen with limestone floors, interesting and aesthetically pleasing triple velux roof lights to the dressing room and a fantastic modern contemporary bathroom. All of the above were hand designed specifically for this property.

The kitchen incorporates a large chimney range area complete with a fantastic L shaped centre island and centre seating to form a breakfast table.

The kitchen also has a wide range of panoramic windows in which Craymanor Limited were instrumental in obtaining building regulations for by offsetting the heat loss through SAP calculations.

External elevations were treated in a mock Tudor style, utilising oak beams throughout and black upvc grained glazing together with matching brickwork, giving an Elizabethan theme to this otherwise modern property.

It was extremely important to this client to achieve aeshetic appearance through the property both internally and externally which you can see has been very successfully achieved and whilst the work was a large investment for the client, it has significantly added value and character to this property.

This stunning bungalow conversion was designed and constructed by Craymanor Ltd following many years of unsuccessful schemes presented by other architects.

Craymanor Ltd designed the conversion of this unattractive bungalow to this now unique and stunning large detached family home providing everything in the client’s original wish-list and indeed offering significantly more floor space at a far less amount than other schemes presented by other architects.

The property now offers a significant family home with fantastic open plan living accommodation offering excellent value for money and significantly increasing the value of the existing property.

Craymanor Limited were instructed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the existing building.

The property was originally bland and lacked a sympathetic design, there was also a requirement for a first storey extension over an existing extension enabling the creation of a new office.

The project was achieved by providing new windows throughout the property and cladding all elevations with hanging tiles and to the front, to create an aesthetically pleasing brickwork panelling under the full depth storey height windows which were reduced in size. The existing porch was also improved to incorporate an over-shadowed roof and improve the design generally.

Overall the building is aesthetically far more pleasing than it’s original form and the clients are absolutely delighted with the finished product which now offers excellent value and has significantly improved and enhanced the value of this property.

Craymanor Limited were instrumental in not only obtaining planning permission and the demolition and re-construction of this detached two storey garage in Metropolitan Green Belt, but also negotiated with our client’ s insurers to fund the project as a consequence of subsidence caused by shrinkage of clay soils as a consequence of tree roots.

The scheme involved specialised foundations incorporating mini bored concrete piles drilled 12meters into the ground which then supported a reinforced concrete foundation in which the new garage was constructed.

The opportunity was also taken to negotiate with the planning office to widen the garage, particularly at ground floor level, and to change the design to offer a more contemporary feel to the building itself.

The overall design solution not only achieved the widening of the original garage footprint but included to provide for a new garage structure offering significant improvement to the aesthetic appearance together with providing drama and interest to the overall appearance of the building. This was done by careful design and negotiation with the local authority planning office and now provides our client with a good quality garage to house its classic car together with significant additional usable floor space at first floor level.
