PORTFOLIO - KESTRELS
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.
WILLIAMSTOWE
Williamstowe is a detached character cottage that was in need of complete
modernisation, reconfiguring and refurbishment. A large stone fireplace
was uncovered, the floors sanded and painted with Sickens to appear limed
but be hard wearing. The original sitting room wall was removed to open
up the space and natural limetone tiling introduced to the kitchen and hallway.
The overall effect created the perfect environment in harmony with the many
plants our Client had.
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 HOUSECharlton 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.
