Home Extension - Old Hunstanton

At S. Clark Builders, we’re passionate about creating spaces that enhance our clients’ lifestyles. This home extension project in the charming coastal village of Old Hunstanton perfectly illustrates our ability to transform homes and gardens, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Our clients desired a brighter, more spacious living area that flowed effortlessly into their garden, and we delivered a solution that exceeded their expectations.

The Challenge

The existing property in Old Hunstanton lacked a strong connection to the garden, and the living space felt dark and confined. The homeowners wanted to extend their living area, creating a bright and airy space that could be enjoyed year-round. They also wanted to revamp their patio area, creating a stylish and functional outdoor space for relaxing and entertaining.

Skills used

Specialised Brickwork, Flint Knapping

Materials

Porcelain Slabs, Flint Cobbles, Bifold Doors, Velux Windows

The Solution: A Modern Extension with Coastal Charm

Working closely with the homeowners, we designed and built a contemporary extension that maximised natural light and created a seamless transition to the garden. The project incorporated several key features:

1. Interior Flint Knapping Feature Wall

To add a touch of traditional Norfolk character to the modern extension, we incorporated a stunning interior flint knapping feature wall. This handcrafted element, created by our skilled artisans, provides a unique focal point within the living space. The texture and natural beauty of the flint create a warm and inviting atmosphere, connecting the home to its coastal surroundings. This feature demonstrates the versatility of flint as it can be used both internally and externally, as shown in our previous case study.

2. Twin Folding Bi-fold Doors

To maximise the connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, we installed twin folding bi-fold doors. These expansive doors, when fully opened, create a seamless transition to the patio, effectively extending the living area into the garden. They flood the room with natural light and provide stunning views, making the space feel larger and more connected to nature.

3. Light-Maximising Velux Windows

To further enhance the natural light within the extension, we installed four Velux windows in the roof. These strategically placed windows ensure the room is well-lit throughout the day, creating a bright and welcoming environment. They also offer ventilation options, contributing to a comfortable and healthy living space.
