A converted net loft in Mousehole, Cornwall, built in the 1800s on 17th-century foundations. The house has 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms on the ground floor, a living room and kitchen on the first floor, plus an adjoining self-contained, one-bedroom holiday let flat.

Living room
The ceilings were removed to reveal the A-framed beams. The furniture, lights and objects, most of which the owner has collected on his travels, mix well with new pieces made from scrap materials and a tried-and-tested paint method - layering a light shade over a dark shade and sanded through, give it a lovely patina.

Living room detail
This room has been designed to look like a sea captain's lookout. The sunbleached wood gives this living room age and character.

Kitchen
The ever-changing landscape of the sea and sky proved inspiration for the colour palette in this home. Tones of grey and stone have been teamed with white for a vintage take on the classic coastal look - the pitched roof adds to the theme.

Master Bedroom
By removing the ceilings to expose the A-frame rafters, the room immediately gained an incredible sense of space, coupled with a chic beach-hut feel.

Bathroom
Throughout the house, the flooring is made of scaffolding boards washed with white spirit and sealed with wax oil. Quirky finds continue into the bathroom - the ampersand is from an old cricket scoreboard, while the tea holder light is from Spain.
