The Brief
A Grade II listed drawing room with damaged cornicing, a boarded-up fireplace and decades of layered modern paint obscuring the original detail. All work required listed-building consent and full reversibility.
Our Approach
We hand-modelled missing cornice sections from original profiles, conserved the Bath stone surround using lime mortars, and overhauled the sash windows with slim-profile draught seals. Walls were finished in Farrow & Ball estate emulsion over breathable lime.
Outcome
Listed-building sign-off first time. The room now reads as a faithful Georgian interior with quietly modern comfort underneath.
