Oldfield Park is Bath's engine room — a dense grid of Victorian terraces around Moorland Road's independent shops, housing a mix of owner-occupiers and landlord investors who want genuine quality at realistic cost. The opportunity here is space maximisation: removing chimney breast walls, installing structural steel for open-plan kitchen-diners, converting cellars into usable rooms, and adding rear extensions that genuinely transform how a property lives. Our team understands the structural limitations and possibilities of Victorian terrace construction inside-out — the irregular floor joists, shared chimney stacks and shallow foundations typical of this stock — and delivers projects that add real value without cutting corners on building control compliance.
