Plymstock Builder Transforms Bungalow for Modern Family Living

As a trusted Plymstock builder, we transformed this Devon bungalow into a home that truly works for modern family life. Originally, the property had plenty of character. However, the layout no longer suited a growing family. You walked straight into a tight kitchen with limited storage. Meanwhile, the main lounge was rarely used. Instead, everyday life had been squeezed into a small sofa area just off the kitchen. Although the homeowners loved their home, it clearly needed rethinking.

A Smarter Layout Designed Before the Build

As an experienced Plymstock builder, we know that the best results start with a well-planned layout. For this project, the design was carefully developed before work began. This meant every room, connection and detail was thought through in advance — helping the build run smoothly and avoiding costly changes later on. We completely reworked the layout to improve flow and function. As a result, the home now feels more spacious, practical and connected

Transforming Space with a Plymstock Builder

First, we converted the unused lounge into a spacious master suite. This included a walk-through wardrobe and a private ensuite. In addition, we installed new plumbing and electrics throughout. A pocket door was also added to maximise space and create a clean, high-end finish. If you’re planning a similar project, you can explore more:

Kitchen Renovation That Works for Everyday Life

Next, we relocated the kitchen into the old bedroom. This was a key change that unlocked the potential of the entire home. We built a brand-new kitchen with full-height cabinetry, a hidden larder cupboard and a separate utility room. At the same time, all wiring, plumbing and ventilation were upgraded. Because of this, the kitchen now feels larger, more practical and better suited to everyday family life.

Creating a Cosy Lounge with Bespoke Joinery

Once the new kitchen was complete, the original kitchen space was transformed into a bright and cosy lounge. We designed and built a bespoke media wall with built-in cupboards and shelving. Soft LED lighting was added to create a warm focal point. As a result, this space has become the heart of the home.

Energy-Efficient Upgrades Throughout

At the same time, we improved the comfort and efficiency of the property. We installed underfloor heating across the main living areas. In addition, we replaced the old boiler with an air source heat pump. Therefore, the home is now far more energy-efficient and comfortable all year round.
