Transformation nearly complete...

Cool. I feel it's a bit sad to lose the front garden and brick it over but a nice back garden will be good :-)

Did you have the ideas for the conversion or was an architect inspirational? The result has been really good.

I know what you mean about the front garden - however we used to live on a 'commuter road' and so really have a bee in our bonnet about sufficient parking

The design came from a series of chats between us and the builder and then an architectural firm to put the ideas onto paper (I suspect the council's planning department may not have been too sympathetic with just 'an idea')

well the builders have finally removed all their tools and there's just a bit of cabling to be done in the garden/utility room and a few small jobs to do over the next few weeks (cut a small section out of the BBQ for example) and then get the garden turfed. What I now need to do is start tidying up the inside. Kitchen and dining room are done sitting room getting there, ditto the hallway


for a proper before and after look here is (near as dammit) the same angle - old and new

Looks great. Cant quite decide if Id go for so much driveway, but at the same time I can see why you would

to be fair there are another 3 cars to get on there and then a couple of spaces for visitors....

Irocfan - Love the transformations and thank you for opening up about the economic decisions. It's funny how quickly you can live without certain features and in the end, it's difficult to ever justify the cost.

Anyway, love your parking space in the front! Very useful and keeps garden work down!
