House Renovation // Jolliffe Road, West Wittering

Overview

This 3 bedroom family house was originally built in 1989. This red brick house is fairly close to the seafront and gets a fair beating from the weather. The house currently has wooden window frames, wood front door, clay tiles, red bricks (no weatherproof cladding), a garden laid to grass with big borders, and a layout that doesn’t their lifestyle.

Brief

The homeowner is wanting a complete refurbishment, change of layout, plus more space which we will create with a rear extension, a front roof dormer, and also a garden room out the back.

Starting outside we will create:

  • new front porch
  • resin driveway – this allows for water to permeate through it whilst creating a flat sleek modern look
  • aluminium frame doors/windows with coloured frames
  • spanish slate tiles
  • weather proof cladding (hardy plank in light mist)

Inside we are planning:

  • two extra bedrooms – one will be created by converting the garage and utilising this space
  • layout change
  • existing kitchen will be changed to a tv/cinema room
  • open plan kitchen  – the space for this will be created by an 3.5 x 10m rear extension
  • underfloor heating across the whole downstairs
  • upgrade the boiling and heating system
  • new electrics plan throughout
  • front dormer to open up the upstairs

And finally in the garden we will create:

  • a garden room – this will have full electrics, radiators, solar panels on the roof, plus a roof light for extra light

START OF PROJECT

  • The groundwork has started for the rear 3.5x10m extension. The grass and garden borders have been removed.
  • A light, bright and airy garden room will be built in this area. The area is a sun trap and the building will be solar powered.
  • The first stage of the rear extension is going in. You can now see how much space we will be creating inside for the new open plan kitchen/diner.
  • The east facing garden room will have a roof light fitted which will allow lots of light throughout the afternoon & evening.

Finished Interior

The house is very near completion, and we only have a few outside landscaping jobs to complete.

The driveway has been resin bound, with granite set edges, leading to a large slate entrance to the house. The cladding is all by ‘Hardy Linear’ and is very hardwearing in this seaside environment. The windows are made by ‘Rationale’ and actually wood inside with a 3mm alu capping which can be unclipped and changed in the future to be resprayed a different colout.

  • The self contained garden room - with storage room to the right
  • Larch cladding
  • roof lights are good for spaces with low ceilings
  • The roof light and bi-folds bring the outside in
  • The roof light lets in lots of light
  • A rainfall shower + hand held shower = a must have combo
  • Hanging vanity basins are great for small spaces
  • The backlit mirror is an essential for modern bathrooms
  • The garden room has its owns small bathroom
  • Bi-fold doors let all the sunlight into this garden room
  • The decking and cladding are at contrast angles
  • The garden room captures all the sunlight in this garden
  • The homeowners will be planting their own herbs/plants in here
  • The larch fence finished the slick look of this property
  • Beautifully rounded corners
  • Look the gorgeous grain in this slate
  • Our brick and rendered planters are topped with slate
  • Open larch fencing matches the cladding on the garden room
  • Artificial grass is a great alternative for salty seaside locations
