BEFORE

Our client sought to reignite this townhouse’s period charm.

 

 

This Grade-A listed townhouse was originally built in the early 1800s and was in dire need of renovation. The layout was tired and dysfunctional; our client sought to reignite its period charm.

 

AFTER

This Grade-A listed townhouse now meets contemporary living standards.

 

 

The most significant alteration was creating the new threshold between the kitchen and dining room, which creates a far more sociable space. Obtaining planning permission was especially complicated due to the property’s age and status, but our team were well-versed in dealing with this.

The property boasts elaborate plasterwork throughout. We sympathetically modernised and refurbished every room, ensuring that they met contemporary living standards.
