This elegant Georgian house is set amidst a private park and was designed by the architect Decimus Burton. Careful restoration of several of the main reception rooms has offered a subtle update to a magnificent property.
The kitchen was completely redesigned and during the restoration of the adjoining dining room, the fireplace was opened up to offer a through fire chamber. I designed the fire surround in the dining room during its renovation - it was a more contemporary addition to the house. A mild steel frame was recessed into the facia and original brick and stone work left uncovered. She used reclaimed timber as a feature in the same room.
I designed the kitchen garden, several reception areas, and the dressing room and master bedroom, which feature fabric walling and a bespoke pencil post bed, also designed by me. Mixing antique finds with newer pieces, custom-made furniture, and traditional finishes creates a design that makes for a truly unique property with a bohemian vibe.
