Jon & Caroline Cresswell
Roof Extension and Replacement, with a three Bedroom Loft Conversion, including Family Bathroom, Luxury Master Suite, with walk in wardrobe, ensuite & feature roll top bath viewing platform.
Location: Dundry, North Somerset
Overview
This project involved transforming a much unloved duckling into a beautiful swan, allowing it to proudly sit in some of the most breath-taking panoramic views that Somerset has to offer.
This newly acquired property was nestled on the edge of Dundry’s serene and rightly protected greenbelt land. Therefore, the planning process was far from straight forward. However, through extensive design and planning experience, a long and positive working relationship with numerous Local Authorities, invaluable collaboration with our clients and with seer grit and perseverance, we were able to secure the necessary consent.
Our clients, Jon & Caroline wanted to renovate their new 1970’s bungalow into a stylish & creative living space fit for their young family.
All weatherproof scaffolding was used to protect the property, as the entire roof was removed, and then reconstructed & extended. An impressive, vaulted ceiling gave the property a serious wow factor and allowed the inclusion of a luxurious Master Suite, which boasted a discreet walk-in wardrobe/dressing table area, stylish en-suite shower room and elegant roll top bath, beautifully positioned to take full advantage of the surrounding countryside & views.
Jon & Caroline also wanted to incorporate some playful magic & asked us to construct a secret ‘fairy door’, which connected their children’s bedrooms. Exposed steel beams were painted bright pink & used to hang a large feature swing chair for their daughter. While their sons room included an oversized full moon light feature, which perfectly complimented the night sky outside, which flooded his room through large French windows, finished with a sleek glass Juliette balcony.
The loft hallway roof space, which was above the family bathroom, was purposefully left open and exposed, flooding the landing & stairs with natural sun light, which was paired with a sophisticated oversized lighting feature.
As part of this project, to help our family live their best lives in their new home, we also carried out alterations to the families lounge area, which incorporated a bespoke raised dining area, log fire and views across the same beautiful countryside.
