Horsforth Extension & Basement Conversion

Bourke Build were instructed to undertake a comprehensive property transformation, including the construction of a single-storey rear extension, a basement conversion, and both internal and external alterations. 

During the early stages of construction, the team uncovered an unexpected live well located near the boundary wall. This unforeseen obstacle unknown to both the client and the architect temporarily delayed progress. 

Following this initial challenge, the project proceeded without further issues. The new single-storey rear extension was designed to provide a spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area. Architectural features included a wrap-around oriel window, a flat roof light, and a pivoting door. 

The previously underused basement, once solely a storage space, was converted into a bright, functional office with new French sliding doors providing direct access to the front garden.

The original Yorkshire paving flags from the basement and kitchen areas were carefully removed and reused in the front garden. In the rear garden, old paving was replaced with Riven Stone Flags, offering a cleaner more modern aesthetic alongside a freshly installed AstroTurf lawn.
