A small-ish project to start with - A very dilapidated townhouse in Hertford, Hertfordshire. The project did end up requiring a full refurbishment including; windows, front weather-boarding, garden landscaping, electrics, heating system, kitchens, bathrooms and some internal layout changes.
Our First Project
Moving On To Bigger Projects for No.2!
This project was a large, Georgian townhouse in Worthing on the South coast. It is Grade II listed and required change of use. We transformed it into a luxurious coastal home over 5 floors.

The main living room had very ornate plaster work to the ceiling and beautiful floorboards as well as a full wall of curved windows to the front aspect.

Ground floor had two reception rooms connected by large double doors and many of the rooms had original window shutters we exposed.
(Above) The beautiful, bespoke kitchen we installed became the lovely hub of the home as it had a large opening to the most ornate and largest living area, on the first floor. ^^
(Above and below)Two fully fitted new bathrooms, two WC and two utility areas accompany the living and bedroom areas. We retained the lower ground floor area to accommodate many uses, our suggestions were playroom and cinema room. There were also some curved-ceiling storage areas that ran under the pavement outside.
The outside space, though small, and initially difficult to imagine an area you might spend time in, is dramatically changed by a fresh coat of paint, some nice furniture and green plants.
The tricky third project!
Grade II Listed, Change of Use, many difficulties to overcome!
Bought as an office, we acquired change of use and converted to a three-storey, four bedroom, two bathroom, family home. We had to raise the ceiling on the top floor to give a few inches of head height, install a sprinkler system throughout, and work out how to get a bathroom on the first floor with a very difficult pipe layout! Eventually it came to fruition.
Our Largest Project To Date
We purchased a closed, grade II listed Hotel, with the idea to restore and retain the building’s original usage - three residential properties. Having undergone many changes in its history, we used a local architect to help us with the details of the plans to preserve some of the historic features, remove modern eyesores and make sure they become usable family homes.
This ongoing project is due for completion spring/summer 2027 all going well! The smallest of the three properties is nearing its final stages, the second largest requires an extension being built and the largest in the middle requires much steel structure in place to provide parking area with garden over. Once finished, these properties should be beautiful family homes right in the centre of the Essex gem market town of Saffron Walden. Further photos will be added at appropriate times.
