A complete transformation in Barton under Needwood.
Set on the edge of a modern estate with open views across the surrounding fields, this home had plenty of potential, but its original layout was long and disconnected, while the exterior lacked the character our client was looking for.
Our brief was to completely reimagine the property, both inside and out, creating a contemporary family home that made better use of its setting without unnecessary structural intervention.
The result is a home with a much stronger sense of flow and purpose. The ground floor was carefully reorganised to create dedicated home offices, a generous utility room, improved circulation and a new open-plan space at the rear that forms the heart of family life. Upstairs, five smaller bedrooms were transformed into three generous, well-proportioned spaces.
Externally, the transformation is just as striking. New brickwork, smooth render, contemporary windows and Staffordshire blue clay roof tiles give the house a fresh identity, while carefully considered detailing adds character and longevity.
A dated and unremarkable property has been completely reimagined into a modern, elegant home, demonstrating just how much potential can be unlocked through thoughtful architectural design.
