Building works commenced during the summer of 2019 on this Extension Project, involving 2 separate New Extensions:

With a new east + south facing ground floor Rear Extension (new Kitchen + Living Space).

Plus a separate two storey Side Extension including a 1st Floor En-Suite Bedroom, with a Sheltered Veranda Space on the Ground Floor Level.

The 1st Floor Side Extension (replaced the existing single storey side Garage), creates a new Master Bedroom + En-Suite, which primarily over looks the River Colligan to the west. The Veranda Space below the 1st Floor Side Extension allows access to the Rear Garden, views through the space and will be used as a sheltered outdoor Veranda entertaining space.
