Elizabeth Road, Bude Extension

The Elizabeth Road Extension in Bude, Cornwall was a transformative project designed to expand and modernise a much-loved family home. The goal was to create an open, light-filled living space that improved flow and functionality while blending seamlessly with the original structure. The project involved a single-storey rear extension, internal alterations, and a full interior refresh.

Client Brief

The homeowners wanted to make better use of their ground floor, adding space for family living and entertaining. Their vision was a modern open-plan layout with plenty of natural light and direct access to the garden. They also wanted to ensure the design complemented the character of the existing home while introducing a more contemporary finish throughout.

Our Approach

At WJE Carpentry & Construction, we worked closely with the clients to refine the design and deliver a build that perfectly balanced practicality and style.

Our work included:

• Site preparation and structural groundwork
• Construction of the rear extension using materials to match the existing property
• Roof build and external finishing
• Installation of large bi-fold doors and feature glazing for natural light
• Full interior refurbishment and kitchen installation
• Bespoke carpentry and finishing touches throughout

Throughout the project, our team managed the build from start to finish, ensuring minimal disruption to the household and maintaining clear communication at every stage.

The Result

The finished extension has completely transformed the home — creating a bright, open-plan living and dining space that flows effortlessly into the garden. The addition of large glazed doors and modern finishes gives the home a fresh, contemporary look, while the craftsmanship and detailing ensure it still feels cohesive and warm.

This project is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and quality construction can add both space and value to a family home.
