Queen Anne Manor

This project to restore an important Queen Anne manor house encompassed the wide-ranging requirements and constraints of working with not only our client but also Historic England, English Heritage and other specialist conservation consultants.

The Brief

The commission was to refurbish: the kitchen, eight bedrooms, bathrooms, the wine cellar and basement areas, gym, art studio, stabling, gate house and outbuildings. The scope included full decorative schemes, furniture layouts, lighting and electrical designs for the kitchen, bathrooms.

The clients’ extensive and important contemporary art collection was to be integrated into the interior to form a backdrop to the individual room schemes. The schemes combined natural, soft colours with comfortable, welcoming spaces.

The Family Room

This room was designed to bring the whole family together, with a warm autumnal palette and burr walnut joinery detailing alongside the traditional room panelling.  A mixture of colour and textured layers created a warm, welcoming space for relaxation.

Joinery

The use of bespoke joinery throughout the scheme, and notably in the extensive wine cellar and basement areas, connects seamlessly to the essential character of the manor, enhancing and adding new lustre to this gem of a family home.

The wine cellar

The wine cellar reached across the whole house footprint, with arched basement cellars which underwent full restoration, with temperature controlled bespoke detailed joinery throughout.  In the centre of this area was a tasting room for open storage of wines for drinking now and a seating/bar area.

The Schemes

The interior finishes included natural woven leathers, unique timbers such as burr walnut and dark oak, which were combined with scaled fabric prints in fresh colours to create an eclectic, comforting feel.
