Hallways and Staircase
The hallways and staircase preserve the quiet dignity of the house, allowing its arches, proportions, lanterns and period detailing to seamlessly
connect the rooms and guide the flow throughout the house.
Library
The library was designed to feel as though the Reverend had only just stepped away. Historically detailed cabinetry, antique furniture and carefully chosen antiquities create a scholarly, peaceful and layered room. Above the bespoke reproduction mahogany and glass bookcase, arched recesses were directly inspired by those at Sir John Soane’s Museum in London, with studwork providing depth and antiqued mirror glass giving the impression of spaces beyond.
Country House Kitchen
The kitchen takes its cues from a traditional country house kitchen, with bullnose worktop detailing, open timber plate racks and ladderback chairs gathered around a modest 18th-century drop-leaf table.
Drawing Room and Conservatory
The drawing room continues the house’s timeless, layered character, while the conservatory opens the interior towards the garden and the softer, more informal rhythms of country life.
Principal Bedroom and Hidden Bathroom
On the first floor, the layout was reconfigured to create an en-suite for the principal bedroom. Rather than introducing a conventional wall and doorway, we designed bespoke flame mahogany wardrobes, one of which opens to reveal a hidden bathroom beyond. Decorated with a mural depicting Indian landscapes, wildlife and architecture, it has a wonderfully transporting quality: a real-life Narnia.
Guest Bedrooms
The guest bedrooms continue the layered character of the house, each with its own balance of pattern, colour, antique furniture and quiet comfort.
Guest Bathrooms and Powder Room
The bathrooms and powder room bring together traditional detailing, richly coloured tiling, marble, painted furniture and carefully chosen fittings, giving each space its own distinct character while remaining rooted in the wider language of the house.
