A room and view for every season.
For many homeowners, a home extension is about more than adding extra space. It is an opportunity to transform the way a property feels and functions, creating a home that better suits everyday life. For Harriet and Grant, a rear extension to their semi-detached home in a rural village near Skipton provided the perfect opportunity to do exactly that.
Working with PH Build Group, the homeowners set out to replace their small kitchen and dining area with a spacious, modern open-plan room designed for family life, entertaining and enjoying their south-facing garden.
Creating a Modern Open-Plan Living Space
As first-time buyers, Harriet and Grant were excited to put their own stamp on their new home. Their existing kitchen and dining room was the first area they wanted to transform.
Their brief was clear: they wanted a generous open-plan kitchen and dining space that would work for everyday family life while also providing enough room for a large dining table and plenty of space when friends and family came to visit.
The solution was a single-storey rear home extension designed to create a more spacious and versatile heart of the home. Large aluminium bifold doors were incorporated into the design, opening the new living space directly onto the south-facing garden.
This connection between the house and garden was an important part of the project. With the bifold doors fully open, the new extension creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living.
A Professional and Straightforward Building Process
Having submitted their planning application, Harriet and Grant were introduced to PH Build Group through a letter. As newcomers to the area, they appreciated the proactive approach from the outset.
Their initial conversations with the team quickly gave them confidence in the project. They were particularly impressed by the knowledge, professionalism and approachable manner of Paul during their consultation.
Choosing the right building company can make a significant difference to the experience of creating a home extension. For Harriet and Grant, communication was a key part of the process.
Throughout the build, PH Build Group kept the homeowners informed at every stage. The team’s attention to detail, quality workmanship and commitment to their requirements helped ensure the project progressed smoothly and with minimal stress.
For homeowners considering a project of their own, this level of communication can provide valuable reassurance. From the initial consultation through to completion, having an experienced team on hand helps turn an ambitious vision into a finished space that works in practice.
The Finished Extension
The completed home extension has transformed both the appearance and functionality of the property.
The new open-plan kitchen and dining area has become the heart of Harriet and Grant’s home. It provides the space they wanted for everyday family life, while offering a welcoming environment for entertaining friends and family.
The aluminium bifold doors are another standout feature. By opening the room onto the garden, they strengthen the connection with the outdoors and allow the family to make the most of their beautiful south-facing garden throughout the year.
Most importantly, the finished extension delivers exactly what the homeowners had hoped to achieve. They describe the new space as somewhere they now spend most of their time together as a family.
