Hi,
Not posted on here before but have been using the site over the past few months as there seems to be an answer for all my DIYing needs! Has been very useful.
We bought a 1890's end of terrace property last summer in Thames Ditton. The property needed work and has scope to expand. Its currently set out as follows; front reception, dining room with stairs off, 1 storey 1960's kitchen extension with downstairs bathroom and utility area, upstairs 2 bedrooms.
The property is one of 3 which were converted from a victorian villa in the 20's. We all have 1 storey extensions to the rear which house kitchen/bathrooms. We would all like to start again and and build a 2 storey extension full width across the back and further back than we are at the mo, this would involve extending the roof full width back as well.
We ideally want to make our house a 3 bed with bathroom upstairs, wc downstairs, open plan kitchen dining area opening out onto back garden. I would prefer us to build most of it in red brick to match existing and would want to make it look like it should be there rather than an ugly addition to the property.
Any ideas on costs for the build, I would ideally want everything done to 1st fix stage and I would finish the decoration, joinery and kitchen and bathroom fitting.
Sorry I've not provided any dimensions as yet, need to measure up and get some ideas on paper.
Anybody done anything similar for a client or planning this themselves?
Jonny
