A sensitive renovation has transformed a dilapidated Georgian coach house into a quirky family home, full of fascinating architectural details and period charm

STABLE MADE

Alix standing in front of the new wooden frontage that was designed to look like the original coach house gates. The passageway beyond is now enclosed to create a sitting room.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT The living room was originally the passageway that led to the stable yard behind. The LIVE AT sign came from Wilton’s, one of the oldest surviving grand music halls. The cane sofa was a charity shop find, the velvet sofa is from Peter Jones, and the cushions are by Chocolate Creative; the tiny glass aperture that sits at the far end of the kitchen was the original squint window, and would have provided the coachman a view of the horses and carriages arriving and leaving the former stable yard; the original window between the front room and the yard area still remains and gets opened up when Alix hosts events. Beside it is a quirky ‘cloakroom’ area with antler hooks from Graham and Green, an old gilded shop sign from Sunbury Antiques and a specially commissioned painting by Cadogan Doggy Dogs; Alix has a magpie’s eye and picked up the oak chest in a car boot sale. The circus plate on the wall is by Pia Bramley and the print is of a Bedford van, similar to one Alix used to travel around in.
