They had the Welsh stick chairs handmade for their holiday cottage and decided to have the same design here. Chairs by JW Henderson. Brooklyn Cone pendants are similar, Industville

Hallway

Two rooms were taken out and the front door moved to make the bright entrance. Riad glass lights are similar, Bespoke Lighting

Exterior

Believed to originate from the 18th century, the farmhouse might have once been three cottages the couple has discovered

AT HOME WITH

House A four-bedroom farmhouse in a hamlet near Malmesbury, Wiltshire.

Shan and Stephen Treadway have boundless energy for renovating, having completed several projects over the years to rent out or sell on, as well as working on their bungalow in Royal Wootton Bassett, where they brought up their now grown-up children, Dan and Amelia. But they still had some dreams to fulfil.

Kitchen

Shaker-style cabinets are in keeping with the old farmhouse, while wall cladding adds a modern country twist. Units, Solid Wood Kitchen Cabinets; painted in Farrow & Ball's Plummett. Lights, Garden Trading. Stools, Cox & Cox 11
