Additional Details
A designers dream :
When i first saw this house looking worn and unloved, on a bleak parcel of land - in a very secluded spot near to the town center - i could envisage the potential to transform this very solid 1950 house with a beautiful light and practical contemporary home, and fully productive organic garden .
Removing some walls and doors, whilst preserving the wooden parquet flooring and 1950s tiles, I created more light and space. Local cabinet makers replaced some doors and a new kitchen . The lovely new conservatory transformed the house. reconnecting to the garden which surrounds the house leading into the medicinal herb garden, willow circle ,the fruit garden, vegetable area and wildflower meadow.
