Victorian / Edwardian typical mid-terrace property. Natural light and ventilation together with a secondary means of escape are provided by one lightwell to the front with a security grille over. The new habitable space provides a large living that can be used as a bedroom, play room, media room etc. A useful utility area that can double up as a kitchenette together with a full shower room and toilet suite enable the basement to become a granny or nanny apartment. Typically the new staircase is positioned under the existing ground floor flight.
These properties have the possibility to be developed further to the rear under the existing ground floor kitchen and side return. If no side return extension is present, now would be a good time for us to quote you for this too. The larger development offers the possibility to have another large room to the rear (possibly a bedroom with en-suite and walk in wardrobes) together with a lightwell and steps to the rear garden. These developments take from 3-5 months depending on the size and it is common to remain living within the property throughout the whole process. |
