A whole-house rebuild in Battersea, behind the original front wall

We removed every wall except the front elevation of this Canford Road terrace, dug out a new basement, built a two-storey rear extension and converted the loft under a completely new roof. The house was then finished to a high standard for family life and entertaining.

The brief

Far more space on every level, with rooms designed for hosting, while keeping the house's original front to the street.

What we did

  • Removed all internal and rear walls, keeping only the original front wall
  • Excavated and built a new basement
  • Two-storey rear extension with full-width black steel-framed doors and a large rooflight
  • Loft conversion under a completely new roof, with a principal bedroom, a lit walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite with freestanding bath and walk-in shower
  • Cream Shaker kitchen with an island and a built-in wine fridge
  • Lit wine room behind a glazed door, plus a bar with illuminated glass cabinets
  • Steel-framed glazed partition in the hallway, and LED cove and coffered ceilings
  • Cloakroom with patterned wallpaper, and a new garden with porcelain paving and cedar fencing

The result

Behind its original front, the house is effectively new: a basement, a larger ground floor opening fully to the garden, more space on the first floor and a principal suite at the top.
