A small extension, a loft conversion or just moving an internal wall can often solve a problem with a house that doesn't feel right.

The view from the kitchen extensionSmaller house extensions and other improvement projects

Sometimes with existing houses it isn't clear whether to extend, convert the loft or move. The way I can help you with this is by doing a feasibility study. A feasibility study involves surveying the house and then looking at possible solutions to see if the house is suited to an extension or conversion, within the constraints of the available space and layout of the house.#

The example on this page is a cottage built on different levels with a number of old add-ons and extnsions. The clients wanted to increase the size of their bedroom and also move and enlarge the kitchen so that they could take advantage of the view across the valley. See right.

Below are a series of photos illustrating the house before it was extended, and the final solution.
