I achieve great satisfaction in enhancing and giving houses back their personality. Utilising skilled artisans and craftsmen, we worked tirelessly over a long period to renovate The Corner House. The house was totally gutted, some internal walls removed and the layout reorganised to create what is now a spectacular, spacious, family home.” “A high priority was to create a large sociable kitchen/dining/family space, with each area carefully delineated. As the new driveway means that most visitors arrive at the rear of the house, there is always a ‘wow’ exclamation when they enter into this bright, contemporary, spacious room. It has an immediate impact with plenty of space to relax on any of the three sofas in its living zone.” “I recently held a party for several friends and family. With the layout of the house and its sociable space, entertaining large numbers was easy. The pretty garden has been landscaped to provide areas for external dining, or for quiet relaxation.” These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
