Every historic building tells a story — and this house certainly deserved a new chapter following many years of careless neglect. When our clients, Matt and Carolyn, approached us about their newly purchased farmhouse in a small Leicestershire village, they wanted to restore its charm while creating a comfortable, contemporary home for modern family life.
The farmhouse is Grade II listed — with origins in the mid-1800s — comprising a blend of late Georgian and Victorian influences. It had once been a working farm, central to the local economy right up until the 1960s. But in more recent years, it had fallen into neglect.
Our challenge was to bring the building back to life — to create a home that celebrated its agricultural past while offering a warm, modern environment to live, work, and gather.
