RENOVATIONS • EXTENSIONS • ADDITIONS / CHERRYBROOK
The house that suited you a few years ago may need to do more today. A more generous kitchen. Space for teenagers. A bathroom that makes busy mornings easier. Elite Additions can help you explore a renovation, extension or addition around the way your household actually lives.

Cherrybrook takes its name from Joseph and Mary Ann Harrison’s 65-acre orchard near New Line and Cherrybrook roads. The fruit-growing history predates the family neighbourhoods that followed. [1]
Land was released in 1978, and around 2,400 houses followed within ten years. LJ Hooker developed the first stage as Greenway Estate, named for colonial architect Francis Greenway. Early street names also commemorated architects; that naming theme does not mean those architects designed the houses. [1]
Later street names drew on trees and shrubs, while the Edward Bennett Drive area used names of local pioneers. Around Franklin Road, streets on the former Benedictine Abbey grounds recalled the abbey. A street sign can be a small clue to the neighbourhood’s development. [1]
A house planned around one generation’s routine may need to work differently for yours. Perhaps the formal dining room is seldom used, the kitchen feels separate, or teenagers need their own space. Start with those everyday patterns. We can discuss internal renovation, extra living space or an addition, then consider which option deserves further design work. Our completed Cherrybrook bathroom is below if you would like to see a local example.
Cherrybrook’s 2021 Census housing profile was 81.5% separate houses and 17.2% semi-detached homes, terraces or townhouses. The scope for change depends on which type of home you own. For a detached house, the layout and outdoor space are key; for a strata property, shared structures and approval arrangements also matter.
Reconsider a bathroom, ensuite or kitchen with storage and everyday use in mind. Our completed Cherrybrook bathroom project gives you a local example to explore.
Investigate an extension for a connected kitchen, dining and living area. We look at how it would affect daylight, circulation and the garden you want to keep.
Explore extra bedrooms, a study or a separate living area through an addition. The staircase and relationship between upstairs and downstairs should be resolved as part of the design.
Cherrybrook is in Hornsby Shire. Early planning should bring together your desired layout, the building’s structure and site conditions. Retained trees, drainage and the privacy of neighbouring homes can influence where new rooms work best. If the home is in a strata scheme, establish the relevant owners-corporation requirements before agreeing the construction scope.
Check your address for bushfire-prone land and heritage controls. Current property information is more useful than assumptions about the whole suburb.
For an extension or extra level, discuss DA and CDC options before settling the footprint. If you own a townhouse, establish the ownership and strata arrangements as well. Bring any existing drawings and tell the design team which outdoor areas and mature trees you would like the concept to retain.
A CDC is a complying development certificate; a DA is a development application. Explore the NSW approval pathways and confirm what applies to your proposed work.

IN YOUR SUBURB / CHERRYBROOK
Look through the finished bathroom gallery for a local example of our work and ideas to discuss for your own renovation.
SURROUNDING AREA / WEST PENNANT HILLS
This project combined a garage conversion with a new carport, including floor, structural and services work.
Tell Scott your suburb, the spaces you want to change and whether you already have plans. We can discuss project fit and the information needed for the next step. You do not need to have every answer before making contact.
Explore our process or design services if you are still working through the possibilities.
A focused bathroom renovation and a whole-home reconfiguration have very different scopes. Tell Scott whether the priority is one room, extra floor area or a coordinated update so the first discussion is useful.
Timing also depends on design, approvals, selections and the agreed construction scope. We will discuss those stages in relation to your project.
Yes. Our Cherrybrook bathroom project is linked below. For a different kind of space-making project, you can also view the nearby West Pennant Hills garage conversion and carport case study.
Consider the likely final layout first. If a future extension would change the kitchen’s location or services, coordinating the work may avoid doing parts twice. We can discuss staging around your priorities and budget.
Tell us at the start and share any relevant strata information. Shared walls, common property and the scheme’s approval process may shape what is feasible. We would assess suitability before confirming the work.
Local history is drawn from the sources below. Historic dates describe the documented places and events, not the age or designer of every home. Housing figures are from the 2021 Census. Property guidance reviewed 11 October 2026; confirm current requirements for your address and proposal.
