Double Side & Rear Extension
Project Description
This project on Christchurch Avenue was centred around one clear goal: transform a standard family home into a strong, long-term rental asset — without unnecessary overspend.
The approved works included a single storey front extension incorporating a porch, a single and two storey side extension, and a single storey rear extension with a new patio area. Together, these additions allowed us to significantly improve the layout and increase the property’s overall accommodation.
The two storey side extension provided valuable additional space upstairs, while the rear extension created a more practical and appealing ground floor arrangement suited to modern tenants. The new porch enhances the entrance and gives the property a more complete, well-considered frontage.
Internally, the house was fully refurbished to a clean, contemporary standard. Durable finishes, neutral tones and efficient layouts were chosen to ensure longevity, easy maintenance and broad tenant appeal. The result is a modernised home that feels fresh, functional and ready to perform well in the rental market.

Case Study
The success of this project lies in its balance between investment and outcome. By extending both vertically and laterally, we unlocked additional usable floor area that substantially increased the property’s rental potential. The new upper floor configuration allowed for improved bedroom proportions, while the rear extension created a brighter and more cohesive kitchen and living arrangement.
Careful attention was given to internal specification. The kitchen was designed to feel contemporary and robust, offering clean lines and practical storage without excessive embellishment. Bathrooms were upgraded with modern fixtures and finishes that are both visually appealing and easy to maintain. Externally, the driveway and patio areas were rationalised to improve kerb appeal and outdoor usability, strengthening the overall first impression.
This project demonstrates how a well-planned extension and refurbishment can reposition a property within the rental market — delivering a strong, desirable finish while remaining commercially sensible.
