Two-storey side extension in Guildford

project overview:
From £285,000 to a shocking £1,325,000! This charming, detached family home in Shalford underwent a thoughtful exterior transformation that beautifully balances traditional character with modern refinement. Originally featuring an aged gravel driveway, darker timber-framed windows, and overgrown climbing plants, the facade lacked balance, contrast and clarity. Through a comprehensive renovation, the property was revitalized with a clean, pale-toned decorative gravel driveway that brightens the entire frontage and provides a crisp contrast to the home's warm, red-tiled exterior. The climbing roses were carefully pruned and trained to enhance vertical interest without overwhelming the architecture. Elegant, black-framed windows were upgraded for both aesthetics and energy efficiency, while a new natural-finish timber front door added warmth and charm. Our services included facade renovation, driveway and groundworks, joinery upgrades, and subtle landscaping improvements. The result is a home that feels fresh and welcoming, with greatly improved curb appeal, simplified maintenance, and enhanced energy performance—offering a perfect blend of period character and contemporary styling.
