Cayford Design provided plans, took the process through planning and managed the project ..... The back of the house was remodelled to include a new extension to house open plan kitchen. The result was of the highest quality and finish. When we sold the house later on, the house sold in two days, and the new extension was a major factor in that. Camilla VM
