Description

​​

Retrofit and extension of this mid-terrace house on a sloping site in Surrey. The existing house had timber frame walls over a concrete and concrete lower ground floor. The existing concrete steps down to the lower ground were in poor condition and are didn't provide the best connection between the house and the garden.

​

The existing timber frame walls and loft have been insulated with natural insulation and the heating system  upgraded ready for the installation of an ASHP. The ground floor has been opened up to make better use of the space with a new enclosed stair down to the lower ground floor. The lower ground is insulated with Cork Boards and extended to the rear with new glazed timber doors opening onto the garden terrace. The roof of the extension creates a larger balcony terrace making the most of the views out over the valley, accessed off the upper ground floor living area.
