Set on the steep northern slopes of the city of Bath, this Victorian terraced house had a small kitchen in a 1970s extension in the dark rear courtyard which we replaced with a larger extension covering most of the courtyard, thus creating an open well-lit kitchen dining area connected to the rear study.
The tiny new courtyard, accessed through bi-folding doors from the dining area has enough space for a BBQ. A rich walnut worktop and copper coloured tiles bring warmth to the new shaker style painted kitchen which also includes a shower room and larder.
First floor improvements involved removing the small shower room in the second bedroom, restoring its proportions to accommodate a four poster bed, and replacing it with a luxurious Victorian styled family bathroom accessed off the stairs. Contemporary external vertical cedar timber cladding encases the bathroom “box”.
Discrete LED lighting and 3 rooflights flood light into the centre of the house, bathroom and dining room, transforming potentially dark spaces into bright welcoming areas.
