When the Johnson family contacted us about their cramped Victorian terrace in Didsbury, they had a clear vision: create a modern family space while preserving the character of their 1890s home. What followed was an incredible 12-week transformation that added 45 square meters of living space and increased their property value by over £80,000.

Located on one of Didsbury's tree-lined streets, this project presented unique challenges including conservation area requirements, structural considerations for the Victorian walls, and coordinating with Manchester City Council's strict planning guidelines. Our team worked closely with local architects to design an extension that seamlessly blended contemporary living with period charm.
