1970s Estate House Makeover

Orange Key Design Studios
6 years ago

Before: Classic 1970s Housing Estate Detached House

Our client wanted a contemporary exterior makeover and 2 storey side extension, together with an internal remodel and rear glass extension





After: Modern Exterior and Interior Refurbishment

We updated the exterior look of the property, added a 2 storey side extension, opened up the internal layout and added a rear glass extension and covered patio

      My house looks similar to the "before" photo. Unfortunately my budget doesn't run to a renovation. Any ideas for a little cosmetic update?

      Hello! Without knowing your budget it's tricky to give definitive advice. If your budget doesn't stretch to extending, updating the exterior, by rendering, adding cladding or changing the windows, CAN be a cost effective alternative. It can change the way you feel about your home and give it a fresh new feel. Whatever you do, our advice is to do the best you can afford and choose the right professionals to help you.

      Thanks for your comment Julie. We are currently working on a design for the next door neighbour but one....

      The rear extension looks very interesting. Just wondering if the covered area over the patio is fully covered or has slats? Does it impact the amount of light that enters the house behind it?

      Stunning! Looks like a fantastic job both aesthetically & functionally ... any interior pics or up to date exterior to see how the cladding looks now. Really love it

      Looks really good. My only worry would be the cost of the renovation pushing it above the ceiling price of the estate. I only say that as we also have an ex council house on an estate and very wary of what we do to ensure we don’t pump too much money into it.

      Looks great, but I wonder what the timber looks like now with the passing of time (post is more than two years old).

      Good point E D I didn't realise it was an old thread. I'd be most interested to see how it has matured.

      Hello, could you let us the cladding you have used and an approximate price for the cladding? Thank you! Maria

      Oh, wow, beautiful job! May I ask what the budget was? I see the post is 4 years old, but I wonder what the price of a renovation like this would be now. I have a decent, small house located on a beach. Currently, I'm a tenant with the help of playarealestategroup.com, but I'm planning on buying my own home. The real estate agency I mentioned only does business in certain places, and I'd like to move to the US. If you or anyone has some information about house prices in the US, I'd be grateful :)
