For Sandra and Trevor Collins, a bland property at the end of a long driveway in a densely populated suburb of London became the unexpected starting point for a new bespoke home. “The neo-Georgian property was ugly and the driveway was in desperate need of a good power wash,” says Sandra. “But to even have a driveway in Teddington – let alone one as long as this – was like gold dust. The outdoor space was a big selling point and straightaway I could see that, with some clever remodelling, this could be a fantastic home.”
