OLNEY Building & Renovations

Week 5 of the Newport Pagell garden renovstion...

For those of you who've been following this project since our last update, here's how things are coming along.

In true British fashion, the most obvious difference between the photos might be the weather!

There has been plenty of progress behind the scenes, though...

The old patio has been removed, the groundwork has been carried out and the new retaining walls and steps are taking shape.

With a multi-level garden like this, getting the structure right is an important part of the job. It's what will turn this tired outdoor space into a garden the homeowners can really make the most of.

We're now six weeks in, and there's still plenty more to come.

Keep following for the finished result.

It's quite a transformation, isn't it?

This orangery has given the homeowners a bright, spacious new room that brings the house and garden together.

The large roof lantern floods the space with natural light, while the wide opening onto the patio makes it easy to enjoy the garden without feeling separated from the house.

We particularly love the patterned floor tiles, which give the room plenty of character.

For these homeowners, the orangery has become a beautiful dining room where everyone can come together. From busy weekday dinners to long, relaxed Sunday lunches, it's a space for sharing meals, catching up and spending quality time with family and friends, all while enjoying views of the garden.

There's something about a bright, open space that makes a home feel completely different.

For this project, we installed a stunning roof lantern and large glazed doors to bring in as much natural light as possible, while creating a lovely connection between the house and garden.

Whether it's enjoying your morning coffee in the sunshine, keeping an eye on the kids playing outside or opening everything up when friends come round, it's these little things that make a big difference to everyday life.

And even on those grey British days, the extra daylight is a real bonus!

Family dinners around the table, Sunday breakfasts that turn into lunchtime, or simply having enough room for everyone to sit down together for a fractious game of Monopoly.

Sometimes it's not about wanting a bigger house. It's about wanting your home to work better for the way you live.

This rear extension has created valuable extra living space, with large bifold doors opening onto the garden and rooflights bringing in plenty of natural light.

A lovely space for family mealtimes, entertaining friends or just enjoying everyday life at home.

That's what a good extension should do. Not just add square footage, but make a real difference to how you use your home.

Love where you live, but need a little more room?

This garage was stripped back and converted into a bright, fully finished room, complete with new flooring, lighting, plastered walls and a window to bring in natural light.

It's amazing what you can do with the space you've already got.

You'd barely know there was ever a garage there!

Whether it's a home office, playroom, extra bedroom or somewhere for the family to spread out, a garage conversion can be a great way to make your home work better for you, without building an extension.

Got a garage that's become more of a storage cupboard than anything else?

The extra space your family needs could already be there...

For this project, an underused double garage was transformed into a bright, spacious family kitchen.

Rather than simply converting the garage as it was, We suggested opening up the existing roof to create a vaulted ceiling, adding a Velux for more natural light and installing French doors to connect the new kitchen directly with the patio and garden.

Often family homes still need somewhere for the bikes, tools and all the other stuff that accumulates, so on this project part of the garage was retained as practical storage too.

The result is a completely different way of using the home. More space to cook, eat and spend time together, without needing to build an extension.

If you’ve got a garage or other space that isn’t really earning its keep, it might be capable of much more than you think.

Feel free to take a look at the full project on our website, or get in touch to talk through what might be possible in your home.
