The Common, Bradford-On-Avon, Nr Bath – Investment Acquisition, Design, Build and Manage.
The scope:
Set in this beautiful village on the outskirts of Bradford-On-Avon, this bungalow had sat on the market without a buyer for years, gaining the sad reputation as being the ‘Ugly Duckling.’ The property needed a fresh pair of eyes and a new lease of life breathing into it.
The result:
Apart from the creation of a porch and removal of internal few walls, we did not increase the footprint of the build by much at all. However, the focus was in taking this from a sad building to a happy one & creating an attractive, light and free flowing living space. Alongside the more major roof, ceiling & external works, the well-designed finishes such as the vaulting of the ceiling, kitchen, bathroom, decoration and flooring, made a special new home for its new owner.
The numbers:
Total spend including acquisition = £190,000 (£155,000 acquisition + £35,000 build)
End value = £225,000
Timeline = 3 months
“Project Fungalow has to be one of our most rewarding builds to date. We gave this sad, unattractive and unwanted home a new lease of life.”
