Manor House Kitchen Refurbishment Opening up the Victorian kitchen wing of a Grade II* Listed historic manor house created a kitchen that would cater for every need. The east wing, constructed in the late 1800s by the wealthy Victorian owner contained the modern kitchen, pantry, larder and utility room. Years of ill-conceived minor modifications had eliminated much of the original building fabric and had resulted in a set of disjointed spaces connected by an imposing dark corridor. Removing the corridor wall, in addition to bringing in much needed light to the enlarged spaces, opened up longlost views to the mill ponds in front of the house.

Modern living meets country cottage By relocating but retaining the larder facility, airing cupboard and tank rooms, and removing a portion of the original external wall that split the old extension from the cottage, the kitchen was allowed to flow into a new breakfast room and family lounge creating an airy, bright space to house family life. A bespoke hidden sliding wall system allowed the breakfast room and family lounge to be divided easily on an ad-hoc basis. Dwell sourced materials including a fantastic floor finish from Fired Earth, and designed and commissioned a computerised lighting system with pre-configured lighting scenes to suit a variety of activities.

At Dwell, we believe that everybody should be able to benefit from the professional support and creative insight that an architect can bring to their building project.
Recognising that architects are often seen as an expensive and unnecessary luxury when people are working on their homes, we’ve developed new ways of working that are better suited to domestic projects like yours.
Don’t think that just because we’ve made using an architect much simpler that you’ll get a lesser service. Dwell is an RIBA Chartered Practice which is the Royal Institute of British Architects’ initiative marking excellence in design, quality and service. We bring with us years of experience of residential projects throughout Sussex and the Home Counties from extensive alterations to new build homes.
