Thorn View was commissioned by an existing client for whom Bellco Construction had previously completed a full refurbishment of their home. Having already experienced our approach and standards, they returned to us when they required additional living space.

August 2025
The client had a demanding schedule and did not have the time to manage consultants, planning submissions or contractor coordination. They instructed Bellco Construction to take full responsibility for the project from initial concept through planning approval and construction to final completion.
Our experience in managing residential planning applications meant the process was handled efficiently and professionally from the outset.
Working alongside Hawkins and Hawkins for the architectural design, we developed a side extension that complemented the original property while providing the additional space the client needed.
Planning permission was secured smoothly, allowing the project to move into construction without delay.
The design focused on:
Although single storey in scale, the extension was carefully proportioned to enhance both function and visual appeal.
The works included:
Matching the original building materials was particularly important to ensure the extension blended seamlessly with the existing home. Reclaimed bricks were sourced and carefully selected to provide a close visual match, maintaining the character of the property.
From concept stage through to final handover, Bellco Construction managed the entire process.
This included:
For the client, this meant complete peace of mind. With limited availability to oversee the works themselves, they were able to rely on our structured approach and clear communication throughout the seven month construction period.
A key feature of the extension is the large roof light, which brings significant natural light into the new space. Combined with the continuation of the underfloor heating system, the extension feels fully integrated and comfortable throughout the year.
While modest in footprint, the impact on the home has been substantial. The new space is now used daily and has transformed how the property functions for the family.
This is often the power of well considered residential extensions. It is not about size, but about how the space improves daily living.
Thorn View demonstrates the value of experience and trusted relationships. A returning client placed their confidence in Bellco Construction to manage every stage of the project, and the result is a beautifully integrated extension that feels like it has always been part of the home.
The property now benefits from improved layout, enhanced natural light and a highly usable everyday living space delivered on time and within budget.
