BEFORE & AFTER

The difference good design can make.

The most useful transformation is more than a new finish. Explore Oak Bank on Tanners Street in Ramsbottom and our 1920s Longsight Road transformation in Holcombe Brook, Bury.

OAK BANK · TANNERS STREET, RAMSBOTTOM

Period character.
A home reimagined.

A residential development designed and steered by HOME. The property was transformed into a four-bedroom home with two bathrooms, open-plan living and a cinema room, while retaining the character of its stone frontage.

LONGSIGHT ROAD · HOLCOMBE BROOK, BURY

1920s character.
A new chapter.

A HOME transformation of a 1920s property. These real before-and-after photographs show how a considered approach can respect a home’s character while changing the way it presents itself to the street and garden.

The front elevation

The distinctive gable and bay windows remain central to the character of this 1920s home. The finished frontage brings together a lighter exterior, a renewed entrance and a landscaped approach.

The rear elevation & garden

Compare the original rear elevation with the finished home: larger areas of glazing, a coordinated roofline and a broad terrace connect the house with its garden.

INSIDE LONGSIGHT ROAD

Character in every room.
