Transforming a 1908 Country House

Sometimes a client comes to us with an existing property which may look like it’s been altered too much to make something promising out of what’s there. Looking closely can sometimes give the germ of an idea for a rescue rather than a rebuild.

This 1908 country house in Wiltshire had been much modified over the years, but the striking gable of the original proved to be an excellent starting point for a triple gabled reworking as seen here in these before and after photos. Brickwork painted in a carefully selected shade, better proportioned timber sash windows and a reclaimed Welsh slate roof have completed the transformation.
