The homeowners of a Victorian house in Sale, Trafford were dealing with a narrow, outdated kitchen that was cold and damp. They wanted to create a modern, light-filled space by extending the kitchen sideways rather than lengthwise while ensuring it remained practical and beautiful. One of the key factors in the design was minimising the impact on light into the dining room, ensuring the existing spaces remained bright and inviting.
Working with Pride Road Architects, a specialist in home extensions and renovations in Sale, Trafford, the homeowners explored various options before settling on a sleek, fully glazed side extension. The final design maximized natural light, incorporated high-quality materials, and ensured seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The transformation has completely changed how the homeowners use their space. With abundant natural light and a seamless connection to the garden, the kitchen has become the heart of the home. The family now spends most of their time there, enjoying meals, entertaining friends, and making the most of the new layout.
“In summer, when everything is open, it feels like we’re sitting in the garden. The space is bright, welcoming, and exactly what we envisioned.”
The project took two years from planning to completion, with a six-month build time. Despite some challenges with builder availability and seasonal conditions, the homeowners are thrilled with the outcome.
“There’s not a single thing we would change. Everything has worked out exactly as we wanted.”
Absolutely. The homeowners praised the hands-on approach, support in formalizing their ideas, and the smooth collaboration throughout the project.
