Medieval Moated Manor

Equestrian Farmhouse
Hampshire Estate

The manor’s history spans several centuries, with the site of the medieval moated manor being a Scheduled Monument and incorporates elements
from an earlier timber-framed house.

A beautiful hardwood dining table for 6 sits at the center of the image with two large lampshades suspended above from a black beamed roof of the medieval manor house. To the rear is a wall to wall brick built inglenook fireplace andto the left a hardwood dresser sits to the left of a rich plum coloured wall. To the right a white window looks out onto surrounding trees.
The living room of the medieval moated manor shows a large pastel coloured sofa, foot rest and coffee table pouffe. The room is illuminated by soft white light from a large vertical window fringed by floor to ceiling beige curtains.
The Brief

A Grade II listing meant that all elements needed to be considered appropriately and historically in the restoration and refurbishment of this important house.

A large hallway with flagstone floor is the entrance of the medieval moated manor. The lower portion of the walls are covered by hardwood panelling and to the left of the image is a large hardwood staircase with a beige stair runner.
Design Principles

Full lighting design, as well as kitchen, bathroom and joinery designs were to be carried out sensitively and with characterful elements for modern country living in this historic setting. An oak framed extension created a contemporary element with the main, older part of the house schemes to be layered and welcoming.

The snug of the moated medieval manor shows a hardwood floor to ceiling bookcase decoated with a variety of books and objects. Besides the window is a large and comfy brown coloured window seat with a selection of scatter cushions. A brown coloured fabric footstool stands towards the front of the image on a herringbone carpet floor.
The Schemes

The reception spaces were kept atmospheric and warm with low level lighting and comfort as key elements. The seven bedroom suites were treated in a lighter manner for the family and guests alike, with soft, calming fabrics and finishes alongside fun patterns and colour. Bathrooms were designed with wallpapers and marbles for added character and interest.
