Its owners have restored original details, as well as adding new ones that feel true to the character of this home, whilst also bringing it up to date
.Kevin McKevitt and Laura Arman bought it. “
Because of the extent of the issues, the home required a significant renovation. To address the damp, modern dry-lining walls were removed, along with layers of non-breathable plaster. Exposing the original brickwork allowed the walls to breathe, whilst also allowing them to identify additional areas of decay and deterioration.
Their approach to the design was simple but considered. “We believe that a home should be both beautiful and functional, a place where every element has a purpose and every corner holds a surprise. We aimed to maximise every inch of space, incorporating clever storage solutions and unexpected design elements.
A perfect example of this is the drawing room, where the existing tongue and groove floorboards were replaced with a solid salvaged pitch pine flooring. This is continued in the kitchen, a sleek yet practical space. “Our kitchen is a testament to our commitment to thoughtful design. By carefully considering every detail, from the oak-lined window surrounds to the integrated appliances, we have created a space, which we feel is both visually stunning and highly functional. It’s a place where we love to cook, gather, and create memories.”
