Service: Single-Storey Rear Extension
Architect: Lisa Raynes, Pride Road Architects
Client: Naomi Hornby
This home extension project in Cheadle, Stockport, transformed a tired conservatory into a stunning light-filled living space. Designed by Lisa Raynes of Pride Road Architects, the new single-storey rear extension meets the needs of a busy family, offering a multi-functional space that is calm, stylish, and full of natural light.
The original property was a 1930s three-storey detached house with several extensions and a loft conversion. However, the rear conservatory was cold, disconnected, and no longer functional.
The client, Naomi Hornby, wanted to replace it with a modern, open-plan extension that could accommodate family time, working from home, and quiet relaxation. Natural light, good flow, and year-round usability were essential.
Pride Road Architects proposed a rear extension that would blend seamlessly with the original home and elevate everyday living. The final design included:
A bespoke media wall for integrated storage and entertainment
A striking dual-pitched roof lantern with a triangular feature window to maximise natural light
Wide bi-fold doors opening onto the garden
Matching brickwork and detailing to maintain the character of the home
Discreet preparation for air conditioning
Calm, cohesive interior styling by Faye Butterworth Interiors
A pre-start meeting covered key details including drainage concerns, utility access, and CDM/Building Safety Act compliance. Final completion documentation and a Health & Safety file were provided, offering full transparency and compliance assurance.
The extension was completed in Spring 2025. Local tradespeople delivered excellent workmanship, and interior designer Faye Butterworth added the finishing touches to create a calm and inviting atmosphere. Photographer Phil Tragen captured the finished space, showcasing its thoughtful design and beautifully styled interiors.

“The best thing about the project is having a multi-purpose space that fits all our needs. Ben works there, Olivia relaxes there, I do yoga — it just works for everyone. Calm, light, and finally finished.”
Naomi and Ben
“This project was all about unlocking potential. By removing the old conservatory and introducing a clean, modern extension filled with natural light, we created a space that truly works for everyday family life. It was a joy to see it all come together – especially with such thoughtful interior styling and local craftsmanship throughout.”
