Beautiful and minimalist! The dining table chairs are stunning and look very luxurious.

This is a full refurbishment with extensions to make the most of the existing 3 floor property. work will commence on site early february

@Jonathan - Hmm the issue with splitting the bedroom above the kitchen (which is currently the master and the biggest) is that you have reduced head height all around the edge. Not sure it'd work to be honest, and I'd rather keep the master bedroom away from the adjoining property, despite thick, old walls. Definitely agree re taking advice from kitchen designers though - important we maximise the potential. @Minnie - Ha, funny you should post that kitchen - that's exactly the style we're looking at; hand painted with a dark blue / white contrast. Had even looked at the deVol ones but I don't think our budget will quite stretch to them, but a local supplier has quoted about a third / quarter of price for something similar but made of pine. Definitely going to add an island, and we had thought we might move those existing units to the utility space downstairs, but upcycling them to become the main kitchen is an interesting idea we might explore. We're also big fans of the existing panelling, so that will probably stay, even if we have to first remove it to damp proof that back wall (it's semi underground, build on a hill-side). We had also considered the idea of an ensuite jack and jill bathroom between bedrooms one and two but we were a little concerned about storage space - we're not big on freestanding wardrobes taking up space, so the existing built-in wardrobes we'd lose to do this wouldn't be ideal. I know where you're coming from regarding the Victorian Range, however, I actually don't think it's original and it's not very well done. The surround is not made of the same Yorkshire stone as the rest of the building is (it's actually quite ugly up-close and looks a bit like crazy paving), and it's freestanding from the surrounding walls - I think it might have been some kind of 60s attempt to recreate a period feature. We had also considered the idea of stove / fire in both the kitchen and the dining room, and if our budget allows, it could be a possibility. However, the dilemma as to where it would be positioned in the dining room still stands, with no existing chimney breasts in there, bedrooms above it (making a centrally positioned fire on the only available long wall difficult) and lack of particularly usable corners. Realistically, wherever the fire / stove goes, we'd probably want a TV to be somewhere nearby so we can relax and enjoy it, so even if we find a good spot for the fire, it's finding a complementary place for the TV and sofa to go too that makes life even harder. First world problems!

love how an old place can become modern if well refurbished. Amazing transformation!
