This detached, four-bedroom, Georgian cottage has been extended both outwards and upwards to create an extra bedroom upstairs and a dining room and garage downstairs.

2/10 Living room
The owners have created a welcoming feel in the living room by adding English oak floorboards, wooden beams and an inglenook fireplace.
Sofas in neutral tones add to the relaxed look. The owner upycled an old footstool by having it re-covered in a gingham fabric.

5/10 Cosy corner
A feature wall in purple adds depth to the otherwise neutral scheme. The light flooding in from the new extension means the rich shade of purple doesn't look too heavy.

6/10 Kitchen-diner
The owners painted the existing cabinets and added new worktops and wall tiles. The open shelves are made from painted pews and the wrought-iron brackets were found at a reclamation yard.
