Brief
Starting outside we plan to:
- build retaining walls around whole property
- knock down garage/craftroom to make new studio – in the studio there is radiators, sink, roof lights, big open entertaining space, vaulted ceiling, perfect art studio
- lay a resin driveway, leading to double garage with an electric up and over door sectional door
- lay edging pavers all round drive
- add hardy plank cladding to the exterior (light mist colour)
- aluminium front door and windows (light grey colour)
- raise the roofline to match other neighbouring properties – this would allow for some good loft space
- build a flint walls to front and rear
- refurb the beach front by digging foundations for retaining walls and then build a seating area
Inside the house we will:
- widen the entrance hallway and open up the staircase – this will let us more light into this space
- underfloor heating throughout the downstairs, with a hard wearing parador vinyl floor
- the downstairs layout will be completely remodelled to make an open plan kitchen/diner
- in the kitchen we will built bespoke kitchen cabinets, with a quality stone worktop
- on the beach side of the house we make a 2.5m extension – this will replace an existing sunroom
- a new utility room will replace the space from the old kitchen
- the downstairs bedroom – good accessibility
- the main tv lounge will be upstairs with sea view with sliding doors to new balcony. This balcony links to a bedroom
- bespoke storage will be made in most room
