Extending and renovating homes in Bishopstoke
The Victorian terraces of Old Bishopstoke, around St Mary's Road and the streets off it, are classic candidates for a side-return or rear extension that turns a narrow galley kitchen into a bright kitchen-diner opening onto the garden. Because these houses are well over a century old and some were built without a bathroom at all, we almost always pair the extension with a proper renovation: rewire, replumb, new heating, replastering, damp dealt with correctly, and original features restored where they survive.
New Bishopstoke's post-war semis and detached homes have larger plots and solid structures, so single-storey and wrap-around extensions are straightforward and double-storey extensions are often possible. Here the brief is usually a modern open-plan ground floor, a new kitchen and bathrooms, and better insulation and heating, all finished to one standard in one programme.
