The living room of this country house was transformed into a luxurious modern kitchen. Originally located at the back of the building it was relocated to face the large patio garden at the front of the house. This involved major structural work to raise the height of the original stone chimney breast and fireplace to accommodate a new Aga. RBW contracted a stone mason to rebuild the impressive fireplace. We then knocked through the central window to create a double doorway onto the south-facing patio and refitted the solid oak panelling.

The original kitchen was repurposed to become a cosy snug with saloon doors leading to the new’ secret’ bar. The clients had the inspired idea to turn the old larder into a bar which could also be accessed through a ‘cupboard’ door in the hallway. RBW did all the decorating and structural work to accommodate a bar hatch.

The boot room involved a lot of structural work, it was originally two smaller rooms which were opened to create a large space including a utility area. we installed two large load-bearing steel beams across the ceiling to allow for the large double-sided cupboards to be fitted in place of the existing walls. The wall of cupboards can be accessed from the rooms on either side, an inspirational storage solution. We laid large Limestone flagstones throughout and relocated the toilet to the opposite side of the room, into the original coat cupboard, involving complex plumbing work to make this possible.

RBW undertook all the painting using Farrow & Ball paint. We also undertook all the plumbing and fitted the LED strip lighting and wall lighting.

We worked with Chapter for Interior Design.
