Nestled in the Warwickshire countryside, this beautiful converted barn has been home to a lively family—including three children, two dogs, and Pickle the cat—for nearly 20 years. Originally a working cowshed, the barn’s rustic soul remained intact with its green Aga, terracotta tiles, and exposed beams. But when it came time to update their beloved kitchen, they envisioned a space that was lighter, brighter, and better suited to modern family life.
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.
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.
Mr and Mrs Howells of Tanworth in Arden wanted to create a bright elegant kitchen with timeless appeal. They chose a painted in-frame kitchen.
Mr and Mrs Stephenson of Solihull were working with Graddon Property Development for their extensive building project. They wanted to create a sleek contemporary kitchen design and a kitchen island was fundamental for the space.
Mr and Mrs Cartwright wanted a contemporary kitchen with subtle tones to work with the exposed oak beams in their beautiful Border Oak home. They chose a white gloss handleless kitchen.
Mrs Mould was recommended to us by her interior designer, she wanted to create a kitchen and dining area that was truly practical and would give her back her freedom. But she didn’t want that to mean any compromise on the aesthetics.
