The Harris family approached us looking to create a larger, more functional kitchen space that would serve as the heart of their home. Their existing kitchen was small, dark and disconnected from the rest of the living space. With two young children and a love of entertaining, they needed a space that was open, bright and family-friendly.
Client: The Harris Family
Project Duration: 12 Weeks
Completion Date: March 2023
Eastbourne, East Sussex
The client approached Asletts with a clear vision to transform their home and enhance everyday living. The main goals for the project were:
As experienced builders in Eastbourne, Asletts managed several site-specific challenges to deliver on these objectives. Limited rear access made deliveries and waste removal difficult, requiring careful planning to avoid disruption. In addition, the existing drainage system needed major alterations to accommodate the new extension’s footprint. Working in close collaboration with structural engineers and building control, our team provided compliant and efficient solutions that kept the project moving forward.
Asletts worked in close collaboration with the client and architect to bring the vision for this modern extension to life. As trusted builders in Eastbourne, we helped shape the plans and secured planning permission for a high-quality single-storey rear extension, expanding the kitchen area and improving the overall flow of the home. The inclusion of bi-fold doors connecting the interior to the garden enhanced natural light and created a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
Key elements of this Eastbourne home extension included:
The completed extension has completely transformed how the Harris family uses their home. The new open-plan kitchen-diner, flooded with natural light, now forms the heart of the property – offering a practical yet stylish space for everyday living, family meals and entertaining. The seamless connection to the garden has enhanced the sense of space and brought a new level of flexibility to the home.
