This charming coastal cottage has undergone a meticulous refurbishment staying true to its original character. The principle was to preserve as many of its endearing features as possible while injecting it with a gentle contemporary touch.
The result is a blend of classic charm and traditional style. Every detail from the beautifully executed bespoke upholstery that invites long, comfortable evenings, to the charming window treatments that frame the coastal views. The interior palette is subtle yet rich, allowing the cottage’s inherent warmth to shine through.
Throughout the home, thoughtful additions enhance both form and function. Delightful floral patterns bring a gentle, natural vibrancy, echoing the cottage garden outside and adding a layer of traditional sophistication. Practicality is elevated to an art form in the dedicated traditional boot-room and utility space, designed to handle the realities of coastal living with effortless style.
Perhaps one of the most enchanting features is the bespoke bookcase, complete with its own ladder – a nod to classic libraries and a testament to the power of tailored design. Subtle brass lighting details punctuate the spaces, casting a warm glow and adding a touch of refined heritage. This coastal cottage is more than just a renovation; it’s a sensitive restoration, a celebration of enduring charm, and a perfect example of how a beloved property can retain its soul while embracing a beautifully elegant future.
