Victorian rear extension

House extensions

A striking double pitched rear extension brings a contemporary feel to this traditional Victorian semi detached home in Brockley. The new space creates an open plan living and dining area, complemented by a separate utility room and WC.

Bifold doors and generous windows draw natural light deep into the extension, while a distinctive projecting zinc window adds a sculptural detail. Zinc coping stones and capping provide a refined finish, setting off the brickwork and giving the exterior a crisp, considered look.

Inside, the kitchen is finished in a deep oxblood colour with a dark island and a speckled stone worktop, set against an exposed brick wall. Herringbone parquet runs the length of the room beneath the roof lights, and the projecting window frames the new garden from the worktop. The WC is painted deep green, with panelling and a round lit mirror.

We used TLBC to build a side return and ground floor extension on a Victorian mid terrace house. This was our first time doing any major building work. Freddie and his team were excellent: the quote was competitive, the schedule of work was clearly mapped out, Freddie was on site very often to check on progress and answer our questions, and the team worked hard, were friendly and polite, and tidied up at the end of each day, which was important as we were still living in the house. The very few snagging issues at the end were dealt with quickly and without fuss. From the very outset, we had total trust that Freddie and his team knew what they were doing and prioritised doing the work to a very high standard. We would happily work with TLBC again, and have recommended them to friends and neighbours.
