A Well-Loved Character Property In Need Of More Space in Sheffield 13

Back to the Future: Blending Character with Modern Living

Our client had lived in this property for many years, drawn to its unique style and prime location on a quiet street in a popular area of Sheffield. Despite exploring new build options, he couldn’t find anything that matched the charm and character of his existing home. Instead, he chose to invest in what he already loved, with a vision to transform it into a space that combined traditional charm with modern living—perfect for both himself and future buyers.



The Vision

The goal was to retain the original character of the property while creating a home fit for modern lifestyles. We designed a two-storey side extension that initially included plans for a single-storey garage. However, as the project evolved, this space was reimagined as something far more personal—a Sheffield Wednesday-themed bar, a tribute to our client’s beloved football team.


Design Details

The extension was carefully designed to be sympathetic to the original architecture, using reclaimed bricks and roof tiles to maintain the property’s authentic charm. A projecting front feature adds visual interest while blending seamlessly with the existing façade. In contrast, the modern bi-fold doors leading to the bar area create a striking balance of old and new, enhancing both the property’s aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.


Inside the Transformation

While the exterior beautifully reflects the property’s heritage, it’s inside where the transformation truly shines:

  • Upstairs, the extension provides an additional bedroom with an en-suite, plus a generously sized family bathroom—ideal for modern family life.

  • Downstairs, an expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A utility room adds valuable storage and functionality.

  • The standout feature? The Sheffield Wednesday-themed bar, complete with its own WC, has become a lively hub for gatherings and celebrations, enjoyed all year round.


The Outcome

This project has not only transformed the property’s functionality but also enhanced its kerb appeal, attracting admiration from passers-by. The blend of traditional features with contemporary design makes it a standout home in the neighbourhood.

Most importantly, our client is thrilled with the result—he now enjoys a space that reflects both his personal style and practical needs, with the reassurance that his investment is secure and future-proof.
