‘We embraced BOLD PATTERN’
This was one of those houses that had been extended and then extended again, without a thought for design or flow,’ says Julia. ‘There were lots of doors and thoroughfares that didn’t make sense and the layout didn’t really work for us.
The previous owners had made the front room into a study, while the long galley kitchen wasn’t big enough to swing a cat. Then, there was the poorly converted garage with a low ceiling and a separate entrance that they’d used for lodgers. Despite all this, we recognised the house’s potential and were excited to get started on the refurb.
