Victorian Period Property Renovation Edinburgh
West End, Coates Gardens, Edinburgh
Cedar conducted a renovation of the first floor flat of a B listed Victorian townhouse on Coates Gardens, in the West End of Edinburgh. This period property renovation was a great success and a great example of our work.
The client wanted to streamline their spacious two bedroom flat by moving the kitchen area into the living room area, retaining a range of its period features such as its fireplace, and creating a multi-purpose space for living and entertaining. The client also required a utility room for additional space, for some of the utilities in the original kitchen.
The property benefitted from a number of reconfigurations to deliver this project. Cedar moved the client’s kitchen from the rear of the property into the living room area, to create a modern, open plan living space, while retaining the kitchen’s existing design.
The old kitchen area was transformed into a new utility room within the flat, installing new larder units to the clients chosen design, re-installing an existing worktop and sink, plastering and decorating the room.
The bathroom and its existing design was also moved to new location. Cedar used a range of trades to perform this project – joinery, building, plumbing, electrical, plastering and decoration, tiling works.
This period property renovation demonstrates the scale of renovation work which Cedar has experience in, with Cedar undertaking a number of layout changes, including a new room creation whilst renovating the property and ensuring the flat retained its period charm.
