For the owners of this charming 18th century listed Cotswold stone barn in Warwickshire, a full renovation project also included creating a spacious open-plan kitchen diner. Having bought the property in 2020, the couple have lovingly spent time giving their home a completely new look, sympathetically designed to complement the warm, honey-coloured local Cotswold limestone that adorns the walls.
Period properties are fantastic buildings in which to create a dream kitchen, especially when they include a rear extension that lets the light flood in. This Victorian house had a complete single-storey renovation at the back, with an extension for the new kitchen-diner-living area plus utility room complete with skylights and full-height, full-width sliding doors to seamlessly connect the inside and outside spaces.
The owners of this stunning renovation relocated to Edgbaston as a family in 2015, and as their family expanded, their home evolved into a contemporary living space while preserving the Victorian charm of the house.
Mrs Hadley came to us looking for an industrial style kitchen that would compliment her original oak floor and work well against the new crittall doors and surrounding architecture. The originally brief started with a dark shaker kitchen, however after exploring the options with our designer Cathy it became clear that a sleek handless kitchen from German supplier Pronorm was the perfect solution.
A large extension was added to the rear of this property we recently worked on in Worcester to create an open plan contemporary kitchen, dining and living area to accommodate all the family (3 young children and a dog).
