Refurbishment of a stunning manor house in Oxfordshire

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 23:00:00 GMT

Specially commissioned joinery including an oak panelled entrance hall with Tudor arch, library, staircase and master bedroom are now fully installed alongside oak furniture, textiles and lighting. The brief was to restore the house to how it might have looked in the Jacobean period. Our clients comment: "We have great fun with some of our guests as they try to determine which parts of the house are original and which parts are new".

A professional photo shoot was organised at the end of July and the results can be seen in our new brochure, due for publication at the end of Summer 2009.
