Thatched Cottage

This 400-year-old thatched cottage was given a new lease of life with a sensitive renovation and modern extension. The aim was to preserve its character while opening it up for contemporary family living. A dusty old kitchen became a light, self-contained guest suite, while a bespoke handmade kitchen and family sitting room now form the heart of the home. Oak floors, scalloped glazed tiles and carefully planned lighting add warmth and texture, ensuring the cottage feels timeless, practical and welcoming for generations to come.
