Renovating & Extending Period Homes
When you choose to renovate, extend or restore your period home with Sherbrooke, we work with you to keep the classic aesthetic and feel that a period home naturally offers. Most period homes have great bones, are ideally situated, and offer a particular type of charm that new homes simply can’t match. Renovating or extending is an excellent opportunity to create your perfect home. However, given the age of period homes, they generally require special care and attention when you restore or renovate them. It can be a daunting process, with regulations and unforeseen costs potentially making it a risky task.
With over 600 completed projects and a reputation as Melbourne’s premier period home specialists, we have experience working on heritage listed houses and can work with you to meet all town planning or heritage restrictions. Our work on period homes may replicate historical Australian architecture externally, but inside we can create functional, modern and seamless interiors. We build modern kitchens, gorgeous bathrooms and state of the art systems that will set your period home squarely in the present.
Whether the style of your period home is Art Deco, California Bungalow, Edwardian/Federation or Victorian, we have the knowledge and expertise to help restore or extend your home to suit the needs and lifestyle of your family.
