This elegant Georgian house is set amidst a private park and was designed by the architect Decimus Burton.  The project is evolving, and although we have completed many spaces, including the re design of the garden to the east of the house, the work to other rooms within the property continues.

The drawing room – A superficial hardwood floor covering was removed to reveal the original floor beneath. This was carefully restored as part of the renovation ot this room.  BTU’s were calculated to offer the maximum heat requirement for the space.  The original shutters were also renovated, and reclaimed radiators from The Old Radiator Company were installed to offer the most efficient heat source for this beautiful, double aspect period room with 3m heigh ceilings and huge arched windows.

Antiques for the space were sourced from Kent, Devon and West Sussex.  A painting from a dear friend and extremely talented artist Caroline Yates, MA, hangs opposite the fireplace.  Fabrics for the sofas came from Fermoie and the bespoke cushions were made using Fabrics from GP&J Baker, Designers Guild and Christopher Farr.  Flooring restoration by Period Flooring.

We completely re designed and manufactured the kitchen to reflect the history of the property. Utilising the pattern of the original storage cupboard at the end of the space, we mirrored this to the left of the Aga to create a working larder complete with internal light and marble worktop. I selected two colours for the room both from Farrow and Ball, the fridge area incorporating the tongue and groove worked well in its own zone of colour. The lighting is wired on 5 different circuits. It offers task lighting over the work tops and island, decorative lighting in the centre of the room and ambient lighting to wash walls and emphasise architectural elements such as the original fire surround. This is lit from the floor at night time to offer stunning decorative interest. The bronze taps and pot filler over the Aga were from Perrin and Rowe.The sofa is by De Hasse and made in the UK and all cushions are by De Hasse bespoke.

We designed the through fireplace to link the kitchen and dining room retaining the original surround in the kitchen and designing a new fire surround for the dinning room, a later 19C addition to the property.  Leaving some of the original external wall of the house exposed, and reducing the height of the line of the box for the stud fire surround was intentional. A lovely way to add interest to the space, it somehow added integrity to the reforming of a later addition to the house which had fallen into disrepair.   Bespoke Mirror by De Hasse.

The master bedroom – This beautiful room overlooking the grounds of a private parkland has been decorated to reflect the period of the house. We designed the solid oak pencil post bed, carefully selecting the wood stain to sit alongside an antique mahogany secretaire from 1710 which was sourced especially for the project. A pair of original French signs and a rare gentleman ’s 1920’s mannequin step away from the period but work within the scheme. Fabric from Kate Forman was used for the walling as part of the scheme which also features fabrics from Cloth and Clover and Ian Mankin. Accessories including the rugs, Chinese ginger jar, and bedside lamps are from Oka

The coal store bathroom – A basement coal store was converted into an unusual amenity. Retaining centuries of history and the story behind this beautiful house, the fabric of the building was left exposed to offer the original finish to the space, punctuated by sandstone stonework and tongue and grove paneling. The heated floor is a cement mix finely floated and finished to offer a neutral finish in keeping with the rest of the space. We lowered the ceiling to conceal unwanted electrical and service cables and left copper pipe work, galvanised electrical conduit and timber and steel beams exposed to add to the individuality of the room. IP rated bulkhead lights were used to light the space and pipe work for the shower head bent to follow the curved line of the original ceiling. The bricked up coal shoot was re-opened and a glass window added at ground level above to offer a small amount of natural light. The bricks were cleaned and sealed after a huge amount of groundwork’s to prepare the site.

The dressing room –  Part of the master suite, the dressing room was designed to offer practical storage.  The central dresser is topped with copper.  Paint is by Farrow & Ball and fabrics are by Jane Churchill and Kate Forman.   Small fabric panels were made for privacy to avoid obscuring the view.  Seagrass matting is by Period Flooring.
