Our brief for this project was to extend and remodel the ground floor of a typical 1960’s estate house on the outskirts of Harrogate.
The house suffered from the typical issues of houses of this era, a small kitchen, an under-utilised dining room and no connection to the rear garden.
The solution was to combine the kitchen and dining room together with part of the original living room and a full width rear extension to form a large open plan kitchen/dining space and snug, with access on to a raised external terrace through bi-folding doors.
The rear extension also features six large rooflights set into the sloping roof which flood the house with light.
Our client says:
“The project involved a lot of structural change which Chris was able to advise on and when the build came across a neighbour issue, Chris attended the very same day and designed a solution that kept all parties happy.
Chris was always available to me and to my builder to offer advice and I would not hesitate in using Chris and the team at Niche again.”
