R Edwards Planning Ltd has completed over 200 extensions over the last 3 years. We have designed various different types of extension with various budgets ranging from 20k – 300k!! Designing extensions to work efficiently and as cost effective as possible, can be a complicated affair. Various factors have to be taken into account, from an early stage, in relation to the existing dwelling and it is quiet often the case that you do not know these constraints, until the existing property has been surveyed and the proposed extension designed.
We have illustrated a few recent projects that have been completed, but have many more in the office should you wish to see some more examples.
Project: Sylvan Way, Mortimer.
A client approached us to create a back to front house! All the bedrooms for the property have been positioned downstairs with the kitchen, lounge and dining area being positioned upstairs to make use of the views. The pictures below show the proposed and existing approach elevations.
 Project: Lavender wood, Silchester.
The second phase of construction is underway. A single storey extension to the other side of the property has now been started and should be completed early next year. Photographas are to be added shortly.
Project: 19 Chestnut Grove, Fleet.
We carried out the planning and building regulation drawings for this project just before Christmas. The project is just about finished with the exception of a few interior details. The extension was for a part two storey/part single storey rear extension. The brief was to design something contemporary whilst keeping the original feel to the dwelling. Our clients and ourselves are very pleased with the end result and we feel we have exceeded what we set out to do.
Project: Firlands, Silchester
We were approached by a client who have been looking to extend their property ever since they moved in. The house is situated in a great location, on a large sized plot, but lacks the wow factor that is needed in such a location. Our clients are looking to substantially extend the property with rear and side extensions over both the ground and first floors. Drawings are being carried out at present and should be uploaded onto the site shortly.
Project: Fairoak cottage, Ashford hill
Our client gave us a brief to substantially extend the property and enhance the look of the elevations. A large extension to the rear of the house has been designed incorporating an impressive upstairs master bedroom and large open plan kitchen/dining area. Construction has started and should be completed early 2010. Photographs are to be added shortly.
Project: Hale Cottage, Brimpton
This property is a semi detached cottage constructed in the 1850's. We carried out an extension to next doors property, Lavender Cottage in 2009, and was instructed, by the owners of this property, to replicate the extension, with minor internal alterations. Testament to our first design!
Building work is well underway and the clients are looking to move in by December. Photographs will be uploaded to the site shortly. Project: Oak Cottage, Newbury Road
This 1930's cottage had been left in a state of disrepair for some time before being recently purchased at auction. The new owners of this property came to us looking to extend whilst ensuring that the original features remain. The proposed is of a modest nature with a first floor extension over the existing kitchen. Many more alterations have been made to the inside of the property to help give our clients a comfortable home which oozes character!
