This is a Victorian semi-detached house located close to Finchley Central that required some renovation and extension to suit the modern lifestyle of a busy family. The importance of preserving the wealth of period features and merging it with contemporary fittings and style, bringing light and space into a traditional household was paramount. The proposed work included a single-storey rear extension of 4.5m with a maximum roof height of 4m. The internal space was skilfully tailored and refurbished at ground floor level.
