An extension on Piggottshill Ln Harpenden.

We recently completed a full house renovation and garage conversion on this beautiful property in Harpenden, transforming it into a modern, practical family home designed to maximise both space and natural light.

Externally, the property has been enhanced with a brand-new resin driveway, creating a clean, contemporary finish and greatly improving kerb appeal. Railway sleeper planters have been added to soften the frontage and introduce a natural element that complements the modern look of the driveway.

One of the key changes to the layout was relocating the kitchen from the front of the house to the rear. This has allowed us to create a bright and inviting open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area that forms the heart of the home. Designed with modern family living in mind, this space is perfect for both everyday use and entertaining, with improved sightlines to the garden and plenty of natural light throughout.

The rear garden has also been refreshed as part of the project, with a new Indian sandstone patio laid to provide a stylish and durable outdoor seating area. Both bifold doors and French doors open directly onto the patio, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces and making the most of the garden during warmer months.

Internally, this former three-bedroom house has been carefully reconfigured and extended to create a spacious four-bedroom home, making far better use of the available floor space. The existing garage has been fully converted and now provides a large study at the front of the property, ideal for home working. This flows through to a newly created utility room, a downstairs WC with shower, and a comfortable family room at the rear, adding valuable and versatile living space to the ground floor.

Overall, this renovation has completely transformed the property, delivering a contemporary, functional home that meets the needs of modern family life while significantly enhancing both its value and visual appeal.
