The Exterior and Community Setting

The home sits within a close-knit village with shops, local pub, a post office and most importantly a community. The original Victorian structure has been preserved, with sash windows reinstated and traditional brickwork matched using handmade materials to maintain the authenticity. A second entrance, designed specifically for entertaining, speaks for the owners’ lifestyle. As Hannah notes, this is a house built for hosting, with space to welcome large gatherings and even accommodate up to 100 guests when needed.

Entrance Hall and First Impressions

The entrance hall gives the hint of heritage and modern refinement which is the theme of the entire home. Tumbled marble flooring in a checkerboard pattern grounds the space, while Neptune ink blue walls introduce a bold, contemporary contrast. Hannah describes it as “elegant, historical, homely” highlighting how original features such as cornicing, arches, and paneling have been restored and reinterpreted. Giving us a home that looks up to the home’s Victorian origins while embracing a bold, modern palette.

Positioned within the angled extension, the kitchen is designed to capture garden views. A large island is at the center of the space, surrounded by dark cabinetry and warm metallic accents. “You can just imagine lots of people piling around here” Hannah says, reflecting the owners’ love of entertaining. Skylights and French doors bring in natural light, while the layout allows guests to move easily between the living areas and the garden, especially during larger gatherings.

Living Spaces Designed for Entertaining

Across the ground floor, multiple living spaces provide character and variety. A relaxed lounge with a large television and fireplace provides a more easygoing space, while the main entertaining room embraces a playful approach to design. Here, restored period details sit alongside bold statement pieces. Hannah mentions the balance clearly, observing that the house shows “how old and new work really well together.” A separate formal reception room introduces a more traditional atmosphere, suited to slower moments and everyday use.

As Hannah explains, the project required extensive work, from rewiring to replumbing, making it “a labour of love.”

This provides a property that honours its history without compromising modern amenities. As Hannah reflects, it is a home designed for living comfortably and bringing people together.
