“This grand home located in Upper Basildon needed a serious refurbishment right the way through the distinctive ‘X’ shaped property.

The team began the project by attacking the lodge to the side of the property so the family could utilise the space to be lived in while the works were underway in the main house. The Lodge works included adding additional insulation and updating the cladding on the external façade. Internally the team carried out a replaster, rewire, redecoration and a new kitchen and bathroom to finish off the internal works to make a comfortable living space during the total refurbishment of the main house.

The near yearlong project was well underway with the goal to get the family back into the main house for Christmas. The team wrapped the entire building with an external insulated render to add much needed u-value to the fabric of this building. A total remodel inside the property included additional bathrooms and ensuites as well as structural steelwork to open various spaces and create new ones, including the vast open plan kitchen diner. Additionally, the raising of the ceiling and addition of a new fireplace in the wonderfully presented living and bar area. Other alterations consisted of a custom-made dog shower, new doors and windows throughout, new subfloor and finished floors. As well as a total redecoration, plaster, rewire. Externally a new driveway, external patio, planting, and other landscaping additions along with a new sewage treatment plant brought this cold and damp property well into the 21st Century to be enjoyed inside its wonderful grounds. A true pleasure to be able to visit the property a year after and see the home settle back into its stunning surroundings with nature.

A perfect project that we had the absolute pleasure of being involved with two wonderful clients.”
