Swallowing up dead space gave the Hobdens a bigger and better kitchen.

THE PROPERTY...

A four bedroom, Victorian terraced house in Brighton, East Sussex, bought in 2011.

WHAT WE DID...

We knocked down the back wall of the basement kitchen to open it up to the hall and gain extra space for a big island and table. After knocking down the wall we moved the existing understairs loo to another part of the basement. We also added a second door to the kitchen which leads out to the garden. New units and appliances were installed.
