SITTING ROOM. This imposing, red brick, Victorian villa has wonderful proportions, so we had a great skeleton to work with. Formally quite a dark house, we used a bright colour scheme, introduced new lighting and installed plantation shutters throughout. The brief was for it to be beautifully stylish at the same time as being somewhere the family can relax. We also converted part of the double garage into a music studio for the teenage boys - complete with sound proofing!

Bedroom flooring has character grade hickory, sustainably and regionally harvested. Excess flooring was used on the wall to create a built in niche and headboard with recessed lighting. Doors lead to covered balcony on the west which provides views of the mountains. David Brown
