Transforming a Bungalow with a Stunning Open-Plan Extension
At DMA Property Solutions, we take pride in delivering complete home extension and renovation projects that transform the way our customers live. This recent project in Broadstone, Dorset, saw our experienced team complete a full ground floor rear extension, creating a bright, spacious open-plan living area alongside a brand-new kitchen and complete downstairs refurbishment.
Over 12 weeks, our five-person team worked closely with the homeowners to extend and modernise their bungalow, combining high-quality craftsmanship with careful project management to ensure every detail was completed to the highest standard.
Whether you're considering a home extension, bungalow extension, ground floor rear extension, or complete home renovation, this project demonstrates how DMA Property Solutions can manage every stage of your build from start to finish.
The Brief - More Space Without Moving Home
The homeowners wanted to maximise the potential of their bungalow by creating a larger, more sociable living space that better suited modern family life. Their existing layout felt closed off, with separate rooms limiting natural light and reducing the flow between living, dining and kitchen areas.
Their vision included:
A ground floor rear extension to increase living space.
Removal of load-bearing walls to create an open-plan layout.
A contemporary kitchen and utility room installation.
Large bi-folding doors opening onto the garden.
A roof skylight to flood the extension with natural light.
A complete refurbishment of the downstairs, including a cloakroom, bespoke entrance storage and new flooring throughout.
With DMA acting as the single contractor managing every aspect of the project, the homeowners could enjoy a straightforward, stress-free renovation.
The Project - A New Living Space Built To Exact Specification
Our experienced building and refurbishment team completed the entire project over 12 weeks, carefully coordinating every trade to keep the build progressing smoothly.
The first stage involved constructing the new ground floor rear extension, creating valuable additional floor space while ensuring the new structure blended seamlessly with the existing bungalow.
To achieve the client's vision of a spacious open-plan home, we removed the existing load-bearing walls and installed the required structural supports before opening the property into one large living, dining and kitchen area. This dramatically improved the flow of the home while allowing natural light to reach every corner of the property.
A large roof skylight was incorporated into the extension, working alongside full-width bi-folding doors to maximise daylight and create a strong connection between the indoor living space and the garden.
The new kitchen installation featured high-quality cabinetry, integrated appliances and beautiful solid wood worktops, creating a practical yet elegant heart of the home. A matching utility room was also installed, providing valuable additional storage and workspace while keeping household appliances neatly separated from the main living area.
As part of the wider home renovation, our team completed a full downstairs refurbishment, including a modern cloakroom, bespoke entrance storage solutions and luxury LVT flooring installed throughout the ground floor to provide a durable, stylish finish.
By managing every element of the build in-house, we maintained consistent quality and communication throughout the project, ensuring the homeowners always knew what stage the work had reached.
The Results - A Stunning Bungalow Extension & New Kitchen
The completed bungalow has been completely transformed into a bright, spacious and contemporary family home that perfectly reflects the homeowners' lifestyle.
The open-plan design has significantly improved the flow between each living area, while the combination of the skylight and full-width bi-folding doors has filled the property with natural light throughout the day.
The new kitchen has become the centrepiece of the home, offering generous preparation space, quality finishes and practical storage, while the adjoining utility room helps keep everyday life organised.
Combined with the new flooring, refurbished entrance area and updated cloakroom, the entire downstairs now feels cohesive, modern and welcoming.
Most importantly, the homeowners were delighted with the finished result, praising the professionalism of the DMA team, the clear communication throughout the project and the quality of workmanship delivered across every stage of the renovation.
