Welcome to Bang and Screw. The blog for our house renovation/extension. The house was built in 1936 as a tea room in a pleasure garden and was converted ino a house a few years later. It has been modified and updated multiple times throughout its history and we are just the latest people to try to bring it up to date.
For us the house had a lot of downstairs rooms (6 – kitchen, dining room, lounge, study, sun room, another room) with only 3 bedrooms it seemed bottom heavy. Even more so when you add the cellar! Our aim was to add more upstairs space wihilst adding as little ground floor area. Hopefully along the way we will improve the energy efficiency and make the house more comfortable.
