This was a relatively simple project where the client required a child’s playroom.

Initially the client wanted to create this by providing a single storey rear extension and Craymanor Limited were employed to give both architectural consultancy and construction advice.

Craymanor Limited advised that providing an extension would not necessarily meet the client’s requirements and during conversations it was discovered that the clients existing very large lounge at one end was not used; in fact was used as a junk area making the whole room very untidy.

Craymanor Limited proposed that the lounge was split into two rooms; one room would be retained as a lounge measuring approximately 26ft x 16ft and the other a playroom measuring 16ft x 10ft.

To overcome the clients concern that on occasions they may wish to use the lounge as a large area, a full width opening was provided complete with bespoke concertina doors giving flexibility of use to the room as a whole.

The client was absolutely delighted with the outcome giving a lounge of a size which was now usable and a large playroom which could easily be adapted back into the lounge on an as and when needed basis.

The project offered exceptional value for money in that the clients saved from their original thoughts of a single storey rear extensions and their requirements and expectations were exceeded by simply rearranging the existing space within their home.

Craymanor Limited were delighted to be involved in the design and construction of the refurbishment and extension of this existing substantial house in Sidcup.

The original design criteria was to provide a two storey side extension which enabled the creation of a large second reception room together with a new master bedroom complete with ensuite.

As the scheme developed it was then decided to include for a new loft conversion enabling two new bedrooms and a bathroom at second floor level together with providing access to steel and glass framed balconies.

The property is in Metropolitan Green Belt and therefore the design of the loft conversion had to be carefully negotiated with the planning office to ensure that it complimented the existing house and the Metropolitan Green Belt designation.

Additional daylight was provided to the first and second floor landing by installing a triple velux light unit together with bespoke oak dividing sections.

The work here has provided our clients with a substantial seven bedroom home, offering substantial living accommodation together with providing excellent value for money.
