Contemporary Renovation of Dated Bungalow

  • 04 Mar 2020

Our clients wanted to stay in the home they had loved but which was not only dated but the existing layout was not really working for them. Their choice was to transform their bungalow into a contemporary, more open-plan living scheme by extending the kitchen, adding a new entrance to the front elevation and introducing new windows throughout with large sliding doors across the back of the building. This created much brighter living areas with lots of natural light as well as providing views and easy access out onto the garden, “bringing the outside in”. As well as a completely new internal layout and new systems the refurbishment also included a new roof (and solar panels) and a stunning new entrance hall was created providing an extremely cleaver facelift to the bungalow.

The Cottage, Laxey

  • 05 Mar 2018

This property is located in the beautiful, scenic town of Laxey. It makes the most of panoramic views of Laxey bay by having its living accommodation on the first floor. It has two bedrooms, one of which is a double, and one bathroom. 
The kitchen and living room are on the first floor of the cottage with an A-frame roof, which was painstakingly restored to match the original timber used over 150 years ago. This offers the buyer a vast ceiling height not normally present in Manx cottages. 
Some of plaster work around the fireplace was removed during construction to show the beautiful stone behind. The traditional Manx fireplace is restored back to working order with new flue’s and working chimney. 
This cottage renovation sets the bench mark to which all Manx cottages should be restored too. It has an excellent finish through-out and is well built structurally from the ground up.
