PRESERVE COTTAGE
Nestled within the storied grounds of an ancient castle, this remarkable residence was an absolute pleasure to reimagine. Our brief was to sensitively expand and enhance the home while preserving its enduring character and natural grace.
A substantial extension was added to introduce a beautifully appointed kitchen, dining area, and snug - spaces designed for gathering, unwinding, and everyday rituals. Great care was taken to ensure that this new addition seamlessly complemented the soul of the original house. We commissioned bespoke wall panelling, thoughtfully designed to flow effortlessly from the existing hallway into the new extension, creating an elegant continuity between old and new.
Every finish, furnishing, and fitting was meticulously specified to honour the age and architectural heritage of the home while introducing a sense of quiet luxury and contemporary comfort.

What the client had to say...
"Kate helped us with the interior design of our house following extensive building work. It was an absolute pleasure working with her. Her contributions took our house to the next level and gave many rooms the “wow factor”.
We particularly appreciated Kate’s flexible way of working, adapting what she brings to the client’s needs. She can take on the full design of a room or take a more advisory role when the client prefers to take the lead. At all points, she really took on board our needs and preferences and came up for proposition that truly reflected what we wanted.
We very much hope to continue to work with Kate in the future and could not recommend her enough."
