PORTFOLIO - MAY COTTAGE
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 thorough 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 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.
