Beach Cottage, Merry Gardens, North Baddesley, Hants

What better repurposing of a regular garage than to transform it into a swish, carpeted American Pool suite with a large, wall-mounted TV screen. What’s more, the room links through to the adjacent refurbished wood cabin to create a bar and seating area, with dartboard, and new oak flooring. Outside, the two buildings were linked by and share, a new 6 metre box gutter lined with lead and waterproof coating.
