🏡 A Dream Ground-Floor Transformation — and a Very Special Project for Us
This was an amazing project to complete, made even more special because it was for a close, long-time friend who had bought their dream home and trusted us to completely refurbish the ground floor.
Their vision was to create their dream kitchen and a modern, spacious open-plan living area, with some really special features — including secret mirrored double doors leading into the redesigned utility and dog-washing area.
We started by completely stripping out the dated kitchen, utility and lounge areas before beginning the transformation.
To create the open-plan space, we removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room. We also fully opened up the existing small double-door opening into the lounge, allowing natural light to flow through and giving the whole ground floor a much brighter and more spacious feel.
The existing stone fireplace was removed from the lounge, helping us create the clean, modern finish the clients wanted.
At the rear of the property, we removed the original sliding patio doors and installed a much larger structural steel, allowing us to open up the brickwork and install these stunning grey bifold doors.
The clients really wanted an indoor-outdoor feel, especially around the kitchen and entertaining space. To achieve this, we installed a bifold kitchen window which, when fully opened, connects directly to the outside bar area — perfect for entertaining family and friends both inside and out. 🍻
Once all the structural work and steels were completed, our in-house trades got to work:
🔨 Full plumbing and gas works
⚡ Kitchen, dining room and utility rewired
🧱 All areas freshly plastered to a smooth finish
🏠 New LVT flooring throughout the entire ground floor, including the office, hallway, kitchen, lounge and utility
🪚 New skirting boards and architraves throughout
Then came one of the biggest parts of the transformation — installing this beautiful, modern and spacious Wren kitchen.
The kitchen was finished in a stunning colour combination with brushed brass accessories, followed by beautiful quartz worktops installed by our stone specialists and an oak worktop to the breakfast/bar area, adding warmth and character to the design.
Our in-house decorator then worked his magic, giving the entire space a fresh, flawless finish before our electrician returned for the second fix and finishing touches — including the installation of the beautiful picture-frame TV.
The finished result is a completely transformed ground floor — bright, modern, spacious and designed perfectly for everyday family life and entertaining.
This project wasn’t just another job for us. It was a fantastic project for the whole team, but being able to create something like this for a good friend made it even more rewarding.
Nothing beats seeing a very happy client’s face when they finally get to enjoy the finished result. ❤️🏡
