SOUTHGATE STREET, BURY ST EDMUNDS
Private House Refurbishment & Construction of New Build
Vantage Building completed a comprehensive refurbishment project
for a returning private client, who sought to modernise his property
whilst maintaining the traditional architectural features.
His primary objective was to update the space in preparation for a future sale.
​
Our team subdivided the property to form two separate dwellings, a strategy designed to maximise the client’s return on investment.
​
Following the removal of asbestos, we undertook structural works to the roof, which included reinsulating and enhancing ventilation. The addition of new ceilings and partition walls further optimised the layout, enabling the client to fully capitalise on the available footprint of each dwelling, thereby increasing the overall property value.
​
All existing interiors were removed and replaced with new high-quality kitchens and bathrooms, with all plumbing and electrical work carried out. To align with the client’s desire to maintain the property’s character, traditional Burlington sanitary ware and classic shaker style kitchens were chosen to complement the cottage’s charm.
​
In addition to refurbishing the existing building, the client wished to utilise the land adjacent to the existing property for the construction of a new build property, expanding the site’s overall potential. Due to its more modern construction, the new build was fitted with contemporary style sanitary ware and a slab kitchen range, to appeal to the contemporary market.

AVOCET COTTAGE, ALDEBURGH
Private House Renovation
Initially purchased for its prime coastal location, Avocet Cottage required a total redesign to better align to our clients' intention of leasing for holiday rentals.
​
To maximise the property's potential, we undertook a loft conversion, creating a master bedroom with an ensuite, fitted with modern sanitaryware. Velux and dormer windows were added to increase natural light, whilst storage was integrated into the ashlar walls for additional space.
​
To accommodate the loft conversion, the ground floor staircase was reconfigured, promoting an open plan kitchen/diner arrangement. With wasted space beneath the stairs, we designed a bespoke made to measure unit to house an American fridge freezer, washing machine, and a wine rack, ensuring a flush and modern aesthetic. The kitchen was fully redesigned with the client opting for vinyl wrapped shaker doors, a quartz worktop, and high-end appliances, to create a functional cooking space.
​
On the first floor, we reconstructed the layout to ensure all bedrooms could comfortably accommodate double beds, with Volante sliding wardrobes providing storage areas. The main bathroom was expanded to incorporate both a bath and a shower, meeting the desires of modern renters.
​
This redesign, and modernisation, has successfully transformed this coastal cottage into a sought-after holiday rental.
