Summers Way, Knutsford
Purchased speculatively as a buy-to-let project, Summers Way sits at the heart of a popular housing estate in affluent Knutsford. The property was in excellent core condition but required extending and modernisation throughout.
Rather than simply just refresh a retirement style bungalow we decided to differentiate the property for rental or sales market by creating a stand-out contemporary extension to its sunny south/rear elevation, convert the garage to additional living space and rework the layout to provide a master bedroom suite with ensuite and dressing room. Feature bi-folds and French doors to rear garden, along with a large new sandstone patio created a strong indoor-outdoor connection.
The result was a highly desirable single-storey dwelling appealing to families, couples or professional singles alike. The finished property delivered exceptional living space, modern finishes and much improved options for indoor-outdoor living. On completion we decided to sell, taking advantage of the strong design and fresh finishes.
