Where it started

Dated pebbledash outside, bare boards and dark walls inside, and an old garage that had seen better days.

Back to the bones

Scaffold up, the old render off and the inside stripped back to the studwork, then rebuilt properly from the ground up. Here is how it came together, stage by stage.

Stage 01

Strip out

Ceilings down, chimney breasts out and the old house opened up room by room.
