Winchmore Hill
Modern 1930s Rear Extension
Project value
£200,000–£250,000
Duration
About seven months
Property type
1930s semi-detached house
Project Overview
From brief to completed build.
Scope
A rear extension, ground-floor remodelling, new glazing and coordinated internal finishes.
Structural work
A wide structural opening connected the existing house to the new rear space.
Extension work
Controlled roof glazing and carefully positioned rear glazing brought daylight into the enlarged ground floor.
Renovation work
The existing ground floor was reorganised around the new kitchen and dining area, with premium joinery integrated into the completed space.
Key challenge
Increasing floor area while retaining daylight through the original plan and maintaining a strong garden relationship.
Construction approach
Structure, roof glazing, rear openings and internal layout were coordinated as one build sequence so the extension worked with the existing 1930s house.
Final result
A light-filled kitchen and dining space with a clearer connection between the original home and garden.
