Project Description: Rear Extension and Associated Works
Contractor: Tony Fenton
Structural Engineer: David Boots
Contract Sum: approx £100,000 + VAT
Contract Type / Period: JCT Minor Works / 2006 - 2007
The brief was to add a rear extension to an existing four bedroomed detached house in Hove. The extension contains a new kitchen and utility room on the ground floor, together with three further bedrooms and two further bathrooms on the first and second floors. Careful consideration in the design was given in the design to replicate the Arts and Crafts features of the house, and a curved veranda was incorporated facing the garden as well as new corbelled chimneys with stone cappings to serve reinstated fireplaces.
Other interesting features include an enfilade of rooms aligned in order to capture a through view into the garden, and a snug area on the second floor, used as a children's play area.
