A front extension & garage conversion on a detached bungalow to create two dedicated home offices, a utility room, & a welcoming new entrance hallway – demonstrating how reconfiguring an existing footprint can completely transform the way a home is used.

At Benjamin Henry Ltd, we specialise in helping homeowners unlock the full potential of their property. In this recent project, we were brought in to carry out a front extension & garage conversion on a detached bungalow with the aim of creating two dedicated home offices, a utility room along with a new entrance hallway to improve the home's overall flow & curb appeal.

The client's goals were clear: convert the integral garage into a useable home office & separate utility room; create a new front extension to give the house a more prominent & functional entrance with hallway; design a split-level office space; & improve insulation, natural light & overall layout efficiency. We collaborated with the client & architect Kurtiss Russell from K.R Architectural Design from the very beginning to ensure the vision could be delivered to a high standard, on time & within budget. Much of the original garage structure came down, with only one or two walls left standing. The roof was removed entirely & the main gable wall was taken out to open up the space. Insulation was added & the ceilings were raised to create a light, airy atmosphere.

The completed transformation has given this bungalow an entirely new lease of life, creating a bright, spacious & highly functional home tailored to modern family living. The new entrance extension provides a welcoming focal point, while the reconfigured layout seamlessly connects two dedicated home offices, a practical utility room & the main living accommodation. Flooded with natural light through large windows & carefully considered openings, each space feels open, comfortable & purposeful. By combining thoughtful design with quality craftsmanship, the finished home offers the perfect balance of style, practicality & flexibility, demonstrating how a well-planned extension & garage conversion can completely transform the way a property is lived in.
