The couple chose a design from one of three maquette models I presented them with - luckily the planners also loved it, saying it was way above their expectations. The only sticking point was that the frontage had to be smaller than we had hoped.
We wanted to keep it as a bungalow without it looking like a remodelled bungalow, and to achieve what we were after we knew we had to choose an architect who was right for the job - and we had someone in mind.
The demolition began in the first week of lockdown and, initially, was stop-start as the government guidelines for working were still unclear. After that, the only real hiccups were caused by material shortages towards the end of the build.
Luckily the builder, Terry Huggett, had a good relationship with local suppliers but we did notice a gradual hike in prices.
