The clients fell in love with the potential of this Georgian farmhouse but the awkward layout and small kitchen was going to be a challenge for their large family. 

 
 

My research led me up a turret of Arundel Castle to delve into the archives of the Duke of Norfolk which revealed that one of the lovely south facing rooms was a Victorian addition.

Armed with this insight we were able to convince the planners to allow us to move the kitchen into the heart of the house.

 
 
 
 

The new layout works wonderfully for both family life and entertaining, making the house a joy to live in.

 
 

“Strong design skills and construction knowledge meant that Tom was able to foresee issues and present new opportunities based on the historical nature of the build… I was thrilled with the results”
