Situated on the outskirts of Lewes within the South Downs National Park, Caburn Crescent presented an opportunity for transformation. When our clients acquired the property, it was in a state of significant disrepair and in need of a complete renovation. They entrusted us to guide them through every step of the journey.

On the ground floor, the original front reception room was preserved, while new sliding pocket doors were added to seamlessly connect it with a newly reimagined kitchen and dining space. What was once a cramped and disconnected kitchen was opened up and extended into the garden, creating a spacious and light-filled heart of the home. The rear extension features large sliding doors leading to a sunken courtyard garden. It features an asymmetric pitched roof designed to meet the eaves of the existing garage. This form not only accommodates roof lights and solar panels but also floods the interior with natural daylight.

Upstairs, both bedrooms, the family bathroom, and the office were fully refurbished. A new staircase was introduced to access a thoughtfully designed loft conversion.

The loft extension forms a tranquil master suite, complete with a private ensuite shower room. The dual-aspect space offers views both front and back—large rooflights at the front frame stunning vistas across the South Downs, while a new dormer at the rear includes a Juliette balcony overlooking the secluded garden.

Both new extensions are unified through the use of standing seam zinc cladding, giving the home a crisp, contemporary finish that sits comfortably within its natural surroundings.
