Location: Glastonbury, Somerset

Client: Private

Project Type / Sector: Remodelling of an existing bungalow

Year: 2009

Planning permission was received for extensive alterations and remodelling of this bungalow in the open countryside of North Wootton. The clients purchased the property in 2009 as part of successful ‘Greenacres Campsite’ that is listed in the Cool Camping Guide and is used for Glastonbury Festival campers. The clients have a large family and so five extra bedrooms were designed into the first floor extensions. All sleeping accommodation is now on the first floor and all living and working areas are on the ground floor. The construction took place on a fast track programme and was completed on time in 2010. The project was short listed in the Homebuilding & Renovating magazine awards. We have now become bungalow remodel specialists!
