    When building a standard extension, is there any reason why you couldn’t have a mini cellar put in. Wine-sized, rather than Fritzel.

    Just thinking loads of old houses used to have them, and they weren’t always big.

    Googling brings up massive basement conversions.

    Gut says that it’s a lot of work for builders, without the abitly to charge accordingly. But I wondered if you were willing to dig out the section if it would be more viable.

    Old client of mine had one of these put in, a lot more simple and cheaper than a mini cellar. Still very expensive but looks fantastic in my opinion

  • Uneconomical on a £/sqft basis to do a small cellar but makes sense for a bigger one? I would imagine the marginal cost to make it a bit bigger is small in comparison to doing one at all.

    I imagine these things were cheaper in the old days because you could get kids to dig them for 20 hrs/day practically unpaid.
