This end of terrace house, despite looking similar to the two adjacent Victorian terrace houses, was actually a modern addition added in the 80’s made to look similar to them.  The existing house was so narrow that the front door would not fit on the front façade, and you entered via the side passageway.   

The client’s wish was for a larger hallway, kitchen and eating area and plenty of natural light.  With some very careful engineering, the house has been extended sideways, infilled either side of the outrigger and extended back into the garden.  Roof lights have been added to give plenty of natural light, bricks and joists exposed to provide texture and warmth. 

Environmental upgrades included insulating external walls, solar panels, car charging point, underfloor heating and double (or triple) glazing.
