This feasibility study was commissioned to help our clients fully understand the potential of a beautiful house near Hempstead before committing to its purchase.
Our first step was a detailed analysis of the existing building, assessing its condition, character and planning context. We identified key constraints and opportunities, providing a clear and realistic overview of what could be achieved through renovation and extension.
Alongside the design and planning review, we also advised on likely construction costs and indicative programme, giving our clients a grounded understanding of the financial and time implications of the project. This early guidance proved invaluable in shaping expectations and supporting their decision‑making.
Building on this, we developed initial ideas for a rear extension and explored options to reconfigure the internal layout to better suit family life. These early design studies focused on improving flow, light and functionality, while respecting the scale and character of the house.
The feasibility study gave our clients the clarity they needed to make an informed decision on the purchase. Just as importantly, it helped them refine their brief and gain a clearer understanding of what they wanted from their future home — laying strong foundations for the next stages of design.
