Bach Renovation

Old Beachlands Character. New Beachlands Style. Like many Beachlands homes, this house started out as a 2 bedroom 1950’s bach, full of character, with established fruit trees and sitting on a full 1012sqm flat section. It was originally purchased by our owner/director Gareth Price, in 2003. As his family grew, so did his home, and he took the project on with his family in mind. With careful thought and consideration, he extended it to include the master bedroom, walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, additional bedroom with study nook, lounge extension, and complete kitchen and bathroom renovation. Now with double glazed joinery throughout, the house is a spacious, warm and cosy 4-bedroom family home with plush new carpet, high end appliances and stunning light fittings and fixtures. The bifold doors lead from the open-plan kitchen and dining to a newly rebuilt brick outdoor fireplace and patio, extending the entertaining area of the home. Perfect for cooking your meat while keeping your guests warm on those cooler nights. Our tagline says it all, this home is built with integrity. Every detail has been considered and finished to a high standard, ensuring what was a tiny bach, can continue to be a comfortable family home for decades to come.

“I engaged Gareth Price and the team from Homing Instincts to undertake an extensive renovation in Beachlands including adding a master bedroom and walk-in wardrobe, new deck, 2 bathrooms and reconfiguring the lounge and kitchen space to make it open plan. Having used his services in the past for other smaller projects around the house and knowing he had a good reputation in the area, he was naturally the first person I thought of when it came time for a larger project. Gareth is professional and approachable and I have always been exceptionally happy with the level of workmanship he provides. His team are friendly and reliable and I have no hesitation in trusting them to get on with the job, even when I’m not there. Nothing is too much trouble for him, often going above and beyond my expectations to make sure my requirements are met. He’s always happy to listen to my thoughts and ideas, implement them in the design with his own creative flair and accommodate last minute changes. The care and thought he puts into each project is evident. He project manages from start to finish and it’s comforting to know he has a trusted crew of not only staff members, but local sub-contractors he can rely on to complete the job to a high standard. I would highly recommend engaging Gareth and his team for any renovation or addition project and would be happy to provide further information if required.”
