PORTFOLIO - CHARLTON HOUSE

    STICKY COTTAGE Sticky Cottage is a semi-detached Grade II listed stone built character cottage in a desirable village location. The property had been untouched for many years and was in need of major refurbishment. Bedroom 3 was reduced in size to incorporate a WC and shower upstairs, the bathroom and kitchen replaced and major renovation works unearthed a very large inglenook and flag stone flooring.
    SPINNAKERS Spinnakers is a 1987-built, 5-storey town house overlooking Poole Park and Bay offering far reaching views from the top floors. The property was in need of modernisation having been largely untouched since being built. DecCardy Interior Design & DecCardy Design & Build were commissioned for the interior design, project management, reconfiguration, refurbishment and renovation work due for completion December 2010. This page will be updated as the renovation project progresses.   (Detailed Information)
    SANDBANKS APARTMENT This large 3-bedroom apartment in Poole was constructed in the late eighties and had mostly been left untouched since. Two structural walls were removed, opening up the kitchen space in to the living area with fantastic uninterrupted views over the bay. The entire property was refurbished by DecCardy Design & Build with their team of craftsmen to exacting standards. Suspended ceilings were installed throughout to incorporate a full re-wire.   (Reference)
    MAY COTTAGE May Cottage is an attached period former farm labourer's property, converted from 2 dwellings. The infrastructure of the beams made moving the existing staircase position impossible without removing parts of the beamwork. Hence, a bespoke open oak staircase was installed in the same location with matching floorboards and shelving. State of the art interior design software was used to show the beam infrastructure and alternate possibilities in 2D and 3D.  (Testimonial)
    THE COTTAGE The Cottage is a period character property. The conservatory was a recent addition and the brief was to create a light, bright airy atmosphere, the Clients preferring a rural french colonial feel as opposed modern to create a functional living and dining space. New colours were proposed and introduced both to the walls and new curtains and blinds created nailing the brief.  (Testimonial)
    SILVER BIRCHES Silver Birches was a typical 1930's built detached property on a large plot. The property had not been decorated or refurbished for 40 years. The house was redesigned and refurbished in its existing layout, save a small amount of internal reconfiguration to enhance the important rooms, kitchen and bathroom, though planning was granted to extend. Bespoke solid oak kitchen with granite worksurfaces and natural limestone tiling throughout.
    KESTRELS Kestrels is a small 3 bedroom detached cottage on a small plot surrounded by tall trees making the property dark and gloomy inside and out. Cutting trees back and redecorating the interior with light natural colours created a very light inviting space. The bathroom was moved upstairs from the kitchen allowing enough space for a breakfast room.
    CHARLTON HOUSE Charlton House is a Grade II listed period property with well proportioned rooms and original features with an abundance of history, charm and character. Our brief was to create a snug-room for the children, replacing carpets and curtains and recommending wall colours in addition to providing a solution to work/storage areas.   (Testimonial)
    MANOR FARM Manor Farm is a beautifully situated modernised farmhouse surrounded by extensive gardens. We were instructed to match new wall colours to curtains & blinds in addition to providing a replacement shelving system in solid oak housing invisible brackets. Designing new cupboards and shelving for the mezzanine was also part of the interior design brief.
