A pair of beautiful far m cottages dating from the 1800s were conver ted to a single house some ten years ago, with cur rent owners, Mr & Mrs Carey under taking a large amount of work to tur n it into their perfect family home

A large kitchen diner extension has enhanced the rear of the house with the addition of Bi-folding and French doors to break down the boundar y between the indoors and outdoors, while the patio area has also been redesigned to suit a single level layout

The homeowners chose their Bi-Folding doors and French doors in Calm Grey with 18mm horizontal astragal bars and Black Cottage handles, whilst their utility room has a Stratfield door and flag windows with the same options

Mrs Carey comments, “ we ’ re so, so pleased, they’re amazing, absolutely amazing –we ’ ve been able to open them up to enjoy the sunshine and the garden on many occasions already ”

“We hunted for local companies, ruling out aluminium products as they simply weren’t suited – we decided we really wanted timber to suit our style and the proper ty, as it has a much softer, warmer and subtler feel ”
