Creating space across two levels
Much of the original ground floor was retained, with a new central staircase and targeted extension creating a family room, laundry and WC. Above, the new upper floor provided three bedrooms—including a principal suite with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe—alongside a family bathroom and separate retreat.
