Canons Drive – Completed 2013

We are excited to share our extensive refurbishment project at Canons Drive, a cottage-style 3-bedroom property transformed into a modern 4-bedroom family home.

Project Scope:

• Comprehensive Remodelling: The project involved front, side, and rear extensions.

• Granite and Porcelain Floor Tiles: High-end finishes that elevate the home's aesthetic.

The significance of this renovation lies in modernizing traditional homes while retaining their original charm. Quintas Homes, under the management of Mukesh Halai and his team, spearheaded this transformation. His expertise has been crucial in seamlessly blending contemporary design with the property's historical essence.

Project Overview

The original property, a quaint cottage-style home, had a rustic charm with its traditional architecture and vintage details. However, the limited space and outdated layout posed challenges for a modern family.

Goals of the Renovation

1. Increasing Space

The main goal was to expand the living area to meet the needs of a growing family. This involved extensive refurbishment to create additional rooms and open-plan spaces.

2. Modernized Layout

It was essential to transition from a compartmentalized structure to a fluid, modern layout. This transformation aimed to improve functionality while still maintaining the cozy atmosphere associated with cottage homes.

Blending Old with New

To preserve the home's historical essence, it was important to keep some original features. By incorporating these elements into the contemporary design, we were able to strike a balance between old-world charm and modern luxury.

Key highlights include:

• Custom-made Walnut Staircase: This standout feature combines traditional craftsmanship with modern elegance.

• Garden Landscaping Ideas: Dedicated planting areas were designed to enhance the property's curb appeal, blending seamlessly with the updated exterior aesthetics.

This project demonstrates our ability to combine extensive modern upgrades with the character and charm of the original cottage design.

Comprehensive Remodelling

The Canons Drive renovation stands out due to its extensive structural changes. The project included significant front, side, and rear extensions, transforming the original cottage into a contemporary 4-bedroom modern family home. These additions provided much-needed space and allowed for a more functional and aesthetically pleasing layout.

One of the most remarkable aspects of this renovation is the decision to retain only the party wall. This choice preserved a piece of historical significance while effectively making the property a 90% new build. The retention of the party wall ensures that the home maintains a connection to its past even as it embraces a sleek, modern design.

Benefits of Nearly a Complete Rebuild:

• Enhanced Functionality: The nearly complete rebuild allowed for a more efficient use of space, catering to modern family needs.

• Aesthetic Improvements: The new build features harmoniously blend with the original cottage-style look, creating an appealing visual contrast.

• Structural Integrity: By constructing new boundary walls and other foundational elements, the property now boasts improved durability and stability.

This comprehensive home remodelling project not only enhances living conditions but also adds significant value to the property.

Luxury Interiors with a Touch of Tradition

The newly renovated interiors of Canons Drive radiate sophistication and elegance, showcasing luxury home interiors through premium finishes and materials. Every room has been carefully crafted to seamlessly combine modern practicality with classic appeal.

Key Features:

• Custom Joinery: The use of bespoke joinery ensures that every piece fits perfectly within the space, adding to the home's unique character.

• Custom Walnut Staircase: A standout element, this staircase not only serves as a functional feature but also as an art piece within the home. The rich walnut wood adds warmth and depth, creating a seamless flow between floors.

• Fire Check Doors with Walnut Veneer: These doors add both safety and style, offering fire resistance while maintaining the elegant aesthetic of walnut wood.

Flooring and Comfort:

• Engineered Hardwood Flooring: Installed throughout the home, this flooring option combines durability with beauty. Engineered hardwood provides a stable surface that can withstand the wear and tear of family life.

• Underfloor Heating Installation: Paired with the hardwood flooring, underfloor heating offers unparalleled comfort. This system ensures that each room maintains a cozy temperature, especially during colder months.

Kitchen Renovation:

• Luxury Kitchen Design: Featuring top-of-the-line appliances and sleek cabinetry, the kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. Custom countertops and smart storage solutions make it a chef's dream space.

These elements together form a cohesive design that respects the home's original charm while embracing contemporary luxury.

Creating Family-Friendly Spaces: The Open Plan Concept

Open-plan living is at the heart of modern home design, and this renovation project embraces it fully. By creating an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area, the home becomes a functional yet aesthetically pleasing space perfect for family interactions.

Enhancing Family Interaction and Spaciousness

Open-plan layouts naturally encourage more interaction among family members. The absence of walls between the kitchen, living, and dining areas allows for seamless communication and a sense of togetherness. This design also maximizes natural light, making the entire space feel brighter and more spacious.

Key Elements of the Open-Plan Kitchen, Living, and Dining Area

1. Functional Zones: Each area serves a specific purpose while maintaining a cohesive flow.

• Kitchen: Equipped with stylish appliances that blend functionality with modern aesthetics.

• Dining Area: Positioned centrally to serve both the kitchen and living spaces.

• Living Area: Designed for relaxation with comfortable seating and smart storage solutions.

1. Modern Upgrades:

• Engineered Hardwood Flooring with Underfloor Heating on All Levels: Adds warmth and elegance to the home, ensuring comfort throughout the year.

• Custom Joinery: Tailored to fit the unique layout, enhancing both functionality and style.

Exterior Enhancements for Curb Appeal

Exterior enhancements are crucial in transforming the Canons Drive property. The construction of new boundary walls significantly impacts privacy and aesthetics, creating a cohesive and secure look that beautifully frames the entire home.

The choice of Marshalls paving for the expansive driveway ensures both durability and style. This premium paving seamlessly complements the modern design, providing a welcoming entrance to the property.

To accommodate the garden’s gradient, a unique bean-shaped raised lawn has been incorporated. This design not only solves practical issues but also adds an interesting visual element to the landscape. A rear garden storage shed further enhances functionality without compromising on aesthetics.
