A substantial home built early in the 20th Century has undergone a major refurbishment to allow for easy living for a growing family. Whilst retained detailing of the building is restored with care, the new service areas have been created with a nod to the past but with a funky edge. The alterations have allowed warming north light to penetrate into previously dark spaces. A Garage built to the rear sets a departure in style, and can function as a Play Space from the small Garden.
