The passion project

A 16th-century dwelling has been sensitively refreshed, resulting in a home brimming with original character, while boasting an easy-to-live-with, modern sensibility

A chance discovery inspired the transformation of this 19th-century farmhouse, resulting in a stunning family home more in touch with the surrounding countryside

Rejuvenating this substantial 19th-century property has been a labour of love for Nina and Sam Ward, but they maintain it’s been worth the setbacks and the expense to achieve their forever home

Thanks to the narrowest of extensions, the owners of this welcoming home were able to create a stylish space that suits them perfectly
