THE JOURNEY
Upper Lounge
Master Bedroom
Master Ensuite
Main Hallway
Basement Lounge
We wanted to create a cozy family area with an oversized hearth and surround for family gatherings.
Doug built a large fire surround designed to house a large log burner that would also shield the TV above from any heat from the fire
When we excavated the basement floor, we were excited to find the original slate floor buried under years of concrete and tiles. These fab oversized slate slabs were repurposed as the hearth for the log burner
We wanted the hearth at a higher level to create a seat/foot rest.
Doug built shelving units to either side of the fireplace, keeping symmetry, balance and framing the bespoke fireplace.
Kitchen
Ready for a facelift!
Ready to be removed to open the basement up, allowing more light to flood through from front to back.
ready for steelwork to open up the basement
we were lucky enough to discover the slate we later used as a hearth for the log burner.
With the room now opened up and the underfloor heating in, we were ready to start reassembling.
Newly plastered walls and an oven - what more do you need?
Flowers make everything look better
complete with feature orb lights and peninsular island to separate from the lounge area

Half Landing Shower Room
 Once dark, damp, riddled with ivy and spiders and ready to fall off the back of the house, the new half landing bathroom is a far less scary place to spend time. |  Another built in shower enclosure - courtesy of Doug and his fear of condensation |

Second Bedroom
 Billy's had quite enough of this renovation lark - it's not natural for a boy to be this grubby... |  New wall to separate the upper lounge and second bedroom |  Starting to take shape. |
