Village Merchant’s House (Grade II*)

Built in 1653, this Grade II* listed property has been lovingly restored through the vision of Bath architects Simon Morray-Jones. We’ve worked directly with the owners to produce this kitchen and dining room space.

Being mindful of the building’s age and history, through our research, our design details reflect the period of the property with furniture mouldings and panelling evocative of its past.

A compromised space, given the age of the building and the limitations that its listed status brings, but without impinging on the integrity and structure of the building, the space has been cleverly utilised. The room the kitchen accommodates is small in relative terms to the house, to compensate for this, we have included an ‘overflow’ servery within the dining room. Floor to ceiling cabinetry has been designed with the appearance of a panelled wall, which is furnished with a wine fridge, dishwasher, sink and storage and produced in a hand painted finish.
