The Manor

When this lovely family home was inherited it was in need of a major refurbishment.   The family wanted to retain the charm and treasures whilst giving the home a fresher feel  more feel suited to modern family living. The original Georgian villa had been re-modelled by the Edwardians and the house doubled in size.  Large formal rooms at the front of the house gave way to a myriad of service rooms at the back of the house. We remodelled these rooms merging three together to make an enormous living kitchen which is filled with afternoon light.

The drawing room has wonderful views over the gardens and  parkland, we retained the wall panels, embellishments and original furniture and added a glamorous chinoiserie gilt peacock wallpaper. The morning room is a glorious room which opens on to the terraces and garden. We adored the original chintz curtains which we restored, the room was refreshed with new upholstery and paint colours. Upstairs, There was a warren of ‘back of house’ bedrooms which have been transformed in to bedrooms and bathrooms for the family and guests. 

"We inherited a Manor House which although loved was tired. Luckily we also inherited some lovely furniture
and paintings. We needed a large scale revamp but keeping the authenticity; homely; happy feel of the house
was imperative along with working with existing furniture etc. We didn't need to explain any of this to
Amanda, she just "got it" straight away. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Amanda in bringing this
family house back to life and to enable it to be fully functional, be able to copy with numerous teenagers, dogs etc. and have a joyous feeling of happiness whenever anyone walked in. Amanda was instrumental in this. Her level of detail is second to none and her vision and design is impeccable." - Client, October 2022
