Sussex Estate

– Project in Progress –

Set in its own 28 acres of formal gardens and paddocks, this Sussex house and estate takes inspiration from Queen Anne and Palladian influences, with classically proportioned windows, overhanging eaves and triple arch motifs. It is a stunning country house with generous spaces and a multitude of original features perfectly suited to family life and entertaining.

Joinery

The proportions of the spaces in this property meant that cabinetry was essential to give structure and purpose to the spaces. There are two dining rooms and the informal one is show below with its beautiful dresser in a dark stained oak, with bespoke marble top and glass fronted cupboards. The Games Room was also completed with a library / media wall to accommodate books and board games and to create layers of character around this classic room. Further joinery was carried out in the bedrooms, library and study areas.
