Kitchen extension, 98 Stanwell Road, Penarth
This recent kitchen extension in Penarth, Vale of Glamorgan, transformed an existing Victorian house by creating a bright, spacious and naturally lit addition designed for modern family living. Before the work, the rear of the property offered limited space and a weaker connection between the house and garden, which is common in many traditional Victorian homes.
Our role as architects was to rethink the layout and design a new extension that improved light, space and day-to-day usability while respecting the character of the original house. The design carefully balances contemporary living requirements with the proportions and setting of the existing property, creating a new kitchen and family area that feels generous, practical and welcoming.
After completion, the house benefits from a far more open and comfortable living space. Natural light now reaches deeper into the home, the kitchen has become a central gathering space, and the improved connection to the garden has changed how the property is used. This project demonstrates how thoughtful architectural design can transform a period home in Penarth, providing the additional space, comfort and quality that many homeowners are looking for.

The interior of the kitchen extension at 98 Stanwell Road has been designed as a calm, light-filled and practical family space. Generous glazing draws natural daylight into the room, creating a strong visual connection with the garden and giving the kitchen a bright, open character throughout the day.
The spacious layout allows cooking, dining and informal gathering to sit comfortably together, making the new extension the heart of the home. Contemporary finishes and simple detailing complement the Victorian character of the original house, while the improved sense of space, light and flow creates a modern kitchen suited to everyday family living.
