This 1950s house needed modernisation and more space.

It was originally a four-bedroom detached house; we added a two-storey extension.

The master bedroom was relocated into the extension and fitted with a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite.

A second ensuite was added to the existing second bedroom and on the first floor a new family room was created.

The extension also allowed us to increase the size of the kitchen which was refitted.

A dining room was added and the large lounge became triple aspect.

The garden was fully landscaped to include patio and wooden decking.

A utility area was also added into the back of the garage alongside the newly fitted boiler, the garage was also fitted with an electric garage door.

The client’s required warehouse racking to be installed to meet their expanding stock requirements.

The racks need to be positioned and anchored properly to ensure they comply with Health & Safety guidelines and can hold optimum stock.

The Clock Tower is a grade II listed building in Walton with a long history.

When  Simon Holdings purchased it in 1997 Oaks Property completed a full refurbished to provide a modern, air conditioned office space. Whilst retaining the building’s original features.

This project was undertaken by Oaks with close liaison with British Heritage to provide an impressive listed building exterior whilst offering all the benefits of a modern office environment.

The brief was to create modernised office space to the highest standard in just three months.

Walls were removed in the rear office (which was once a stable) to create an open-plan office.

The entire building was re-wired, re-plumbed and air conditioning was installed, as was cat 2 lighting and cat 5 wiring.

New toilets and a kitchen were added and entrance points were created or reopened.
We also needed to add steel structural supports to the rear office as we were removing all the inner walls that had sectioned the building into smaller offices.

We opened up the original making it a feature of the reception area.

This modern space was created without compromising the atmosphere of the historical building.

The building and 17th century Clock are maintained by Oaks Property on an ongoing basis.

Recently, Oaks Property were called in to redesign the Car Park to make more parking available for the growing staff numbers. This work involved removing flower beds, laying block paving and re-tarmacking.

This 1930s cottage needed entire renovation to modernise and to provide more space.

It was a four-bedroom detached cottage, which underwent full renovation, including new bathrooms & a new kitchen, re-plumbing, re-wiring and interior decorating and exterior decorating and a patio in the garden.

The original internal layout was altered and additional ensuite and study rooms were added into to the space gained.

We purchased land to the rear of the property and are in the process of constructing our next new build project: a bungalow and two cottages.

Oaks extended the property, adding an additional level to one section of the house and added a ground floor extension to the back of the building.

New kitchen & bathroom were fitted and the house was fully redecorated.

The exterior grounds were re-fenced, new electric gates installed and a new 100’ gravel drive was also created.

We did a complete internal and partial external renovation.

The entire building was re-wired and re-plumbed and a new heating system and boiler was fitted as well as new double-glazed windows and doors.

This project included a kitchen refit, a bathroom refit plus the whole house interior was redecorated.

We laid new driveway and fully landscaped the garden.
