Amazing Period Architecture – In Need of a Careful Update

Victorian, Edwardian and even Georgian properties can be extremely beautiful. Our architectural history is impressive.

Also, houses built in the 1930s and later. But life moves on. Now could be the time to restore either your current or future home to its former glory. Yet with the style, space, comfort, and liveability that belong firmly to the 21st century. And all without compromising any of the stunning, original features that drew you to the property in the first place.

Or maybe the period features were stripped away, and you’d love them to be restored?

From Old-Fashioned to Excellent

Are there echoes of the past in your house? Although imposing and elegant, homes needing renovation may have too-small rooms, with poor configuration and no longer suited to your family’s needs. Maybe there’s not enough light.

For high-end residential spaces, Chartwell’s design and build model is, as you would expect, completely bespoke. Our combined expertise offers outstanding benefits

Design drawings and construction know-how that combine form and function. And that will actually work; in other words, a streamlined yet high-performing style.

An essential understanding of the potential unknowns: hidden structural issues, listed building regulations, previous poor-quality restorations – even unrecorded building work. Likewise, problematic water ingress. Or, issues with damp.

Maintaining design integrity: Chartwell’s integrated expertise and attention to detail will preserve your brief, ensuring that nothing is diluted. This includes the choice of materials, construction, and interior design.

Sustainable designs. We believe in keeping energy in – often tricky in period properties. So, our renovation work aims to prevent heat escaping through the windows or the roof.

Renovating a large property involves hundreds of decisions and numerous moving parts. Our approach brings all the stages together, ensuring full accountability through a single company. And, a streamless, reduced-stress experience.

Multi-Generational Living

Chartwell will be delighted to plan, design, and adapt your property to accommodate your parents, children, or other loved ones.

Yes, it’s a cliché, but we’ll “future-proof” your home, ideally adding intrinsic and longer-term financial value. Allowing for privacy and independence (must-haves for everyone), multi-generational living could help build strong family bonds and reduce property costs. Now, you no longer need to worry about your Mum or Dad. You know where they are; they’re safe and self-sufficient.
