Private House Renovation - Aldeburgh, Suffolk
Initially purchased for its prime coastal location, this cottage required a total redesign to better align to our clients' intention of leasing for holiday rentals.
In the competitive rental market, efficient space utilisation is the key to success. To maximise the property's potential, we undertook a loft conversion, creating a master bedroom with an ensuite, fitted with modern sanitaryware. Velux and dormer windows were added to increase natural light, whilst storage was integrated into the ashlar walls for additional space.
To accommodate the loft conversion, the ground floor staircase was reconfigured, promoting an open plan kitchen/diner arrangement- an incredibly popular feature in the current housing market. With wasted space beneath the stairs, we designed a bespoke made to measure unit to house an American fridge freezer, washing machine, and a wine rack, ensuring a flush and modern aesthetic. The kitchen was fully redesigned with the client opting for vinyl wrapped shaker doors, a quartz worktop, and high-end appliances, to create a functional cooking space.
On the first floor, we reconstructed the layout to ensure all bedrooms could comfortably accommodate double beds, with Volante sliding wardrobes providing storage areas. The main bathroom was expanded to incorporate both a bath and a shower, meeting the desires of modern renters.
This redesign and modernisation has successfully transformed this coastal cottage into a sought-after holiday rental.
