We have just gained Planning and Building Regulation permission to sympathetically upgrade and remodel an unusual split level 1960s mid-century house which overlooks a salt water lake in Gosport. The proposal will see the external appearance of the property enhanced whilst considerably upgrading the insulated fabric of the building. Despite the extensive work, the property will not increase in floor area, but will benefit from improvements that include among other changes, opening up the kitchen to the living room to create an 11m long room, combining two bedrooms to form a master suite and bringing a redundant balcony back into use.
