Large Arts and Crafts period property: Refurbishment

  • 30 Jan 2018

This large period property had been left untouched for a considerable number of years. McGovern re-designed and refurbished it to create a truly magnificent home. 
We removed the internal walls to create a kitchen/dining area that was more compatible for modern day living. The kitchen island unit was a mid-century sideboard which was an existing feature of the house. This was brought up to date with a concrete worktop. The rest of the kitchen was constructed to be in-keeping with the design of the island unit. 
Two sets of bespoke, bi-fold doors were installed to rear of property to create more light and to allow access to the garden which was extensively landscaped to allow outside/inside living. Bespoke cabinetry, shelving and bedroom furniture completed the remodel in other areas of the house.

Georgian Townhouse Restoration: Extension and Refurbishment

  • 30 Jan 2018

This beautiful Georgian townhouse was completely stripped back to its framework and sympathetically put back together. 
We then installed a new kitchen extension with specialist concrete flooring, a home cinema and games room and completed extensive structural work to open up the lower ground floor. 
The whole house was rewired and re-plumbed, and bedrooms, bathrooms and reception rooms all refurbished with custom built cupboards, wardrobes, beds and cabinets installed.
The garden was fully re-landscaped to ensure the new dining area opened seamlessly on to the outside space.
