Transforming a Guernsey Bungalow

The layout at Mont Hubert was adapted and altered to incorporate the new frame.  The existing front door was tucked away and the front elevation lacked presence.  By adding on the oak frame porch and re-locating the front door, the front elevation gained great symmetry and all of the existing fascias and dormer cladding were upgraded to oak so it complemented the main extension.

The extension footprint replaced an old upvc conservatory and allowed for an impressive living, dining, kitchen area and at first floor level an en-suite bathroom to the existing master bedroom suite.

When it comes to supply-only jobs, we give extra attention to labelling and colour coding the sections of timber to make re-assembling them on site as simple as possible for the building contractor.  We also provide a detailed assembly sequence document – straying away from this sequence can make life very difficult for non timber frame specialists.

Depending on the location, size and scope of your project, supply-only can be a cost effective option, particularly for simpler structures such as porches or pergolas and when your location is a long distance from our Devon or Scotland yards.

‘Rachel designed a complete home remodel for us, including an oak frame extension. Rachel took our original brief and came up with a number of options for how we could make the best of our home. We were involved through every stage of the project and it very much felt like a collaborative effort. We love the house she created for us!’  Mont Hubert clients
