The complete renovation of a two up two down derelict cottage, featuring a back extension that doubled the footprint of the property and introduced a generous master suite as well as a large open plan living area and kitchen complete with island. The extension required extensive groundworks and a large retaining wall to be built 4m below ground level. This created a dual level aspect between the old cottage and the new extension, separating the dining area in the old cottage from the kitchen in the extension with wall to wall steps. Due to the fortified wall being below ground level and having no windows, 3 large crittal doors were installed on the opposite wall that open out onto the sunken terrace, flooding the open plan living and kitchen with light and bringing the outside in.

Very much neutral and I find myself dying for a bit more colour and pattern in this home but I know neutrals can also sing its own song of calm and soothing peacefulness and it’s such a beautiful renovation that I had to share.
