Eccles
Private Client

Pine Grove is a private residential extension and remodelling project in Eccles, Manchester, transforming a period semi-detached house into a brighter, more open family home.
The single-storey rear and side extension creates an open-plan kitchen and dining area, while changes to the existing ground floor introduce a utility room and downstairs cloakroom. Delivered with Claremont Building & Joinery, the project brings more space and practicality to everyday family life.
BTP provided architectural design and Building Regulations Principal Designer services for the private client.
We developed the extension alongside alterations to the existing rooms, considering how the new and original parts of the house would work together. Our approach focused on natural light, connected spaces and a ground-floor layout shaped around the family’s needs.
Removing the existing kitchen’s external side wall connects the original house with the new extension, creating a bright, open-plan kitchen and dining area. A separate utility room and downstairs cloakroom bring added practicality to the remodelled ground floor.
Extending a period home meant thinking beyond the additional floor space. We looked at how the extension could connect with the existing house, improving the way rooms relate to one another while limiting disruption to the original property.
Removing the external side wall of the kitchen opened up the existing room to the new extension, creating a generous kitchen and dining space. This connection was central to the design, bringing cooking, eating and spending time together into one shared area.
Internal remodelling helped the rest of the ground floor work more effectively. A separate utility room provides space for household tasks, while a new downstairs cloakroom adds convenience without interrupting the main living space.
Throughout the design, we focused on maximising natural light and creating a sense of openness. Clean lines and contemporary finishes give the new spaces a clear identity within the period home.
Pine Grove has given an existing family home more room to grow, combining a rear and side extension with practical improvements to the ground-floor layout.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area provides a bright, connected setting for everyday life, supported by the new utility room and cloakroom. Together, these changes make better use of the house and create spaces that feel more open, comfortable and easy to live in.
