The first floor is completely reworked as a generous master suite with dressing room, and a new bedroom is introduced on the second floor. The top floor, already converted from loft, is consolidated into a large guest suite with large new windows, terrace and stair. Thermal performance is improved with new triple-glazed windows on the rear elevation, underfloor heating, and increased insulation.

A high-quality and refined palette of materials is proposed, with light slate tiles and wide oak floorboards, brass balustrade, taps and switches, and oiled oak full-height separator doors to allow the open-plan ground floor to be closed off as required. Planning consent was achieved to make a full basement, though this will be carried out in the future – so the design of the new floor slab is such that the new basement can be excavated and the floor can still carry the necessary structural loads.
