Heritage Reimagined

The Old Till House project was an extraordinary journey, artfully embracing the essence of its original charm while introducing sophisticated, modern elements. Our vision was clear—to preserve the beauty and history of the building's façade and complement it with contemporary additions that enhanced and enriched the space.

At the front, the timeless appeal of classic Cotswold stonework was preserved and carefully restored. Stepping through this historic threshold, you enter a world where tradition meets innovation—each interior space thoughtfully renewed to bring warmth, functionality, and an understated elegance into everyday living.

Crafted to inspire, every detail of The Old Till House reflects precision, thoughtfulness, and harmony, creating not just a living space, but an experience in refined design.

Glass and Light

Central to the magic of transformation is the breathtaking contemporary extensions. Framed by stunning oak beams and wrapped in expanses of glass, this exceptional space celebrates natural light, inviting the picturesque beauty of the surrounding landscape indoors.

The seamless connection of indoors and outdoors provides an airy, inviting atmosphere. Whether enjoying a morning coffee with gentle sunlight filtering through or hosting evening gatherings beneath starry skies, this extension redefines the way a home connects with its environment.

We have really enjoyed working with Nathan and his team on our 12-month renovation and extension project. Their attention to detail and finish has been exceptional, and the customer service was outstanding. Nathan and Adam managed everything with a very hands-on approach, ensuring a great experience throughout the project.

We are especially happy with the custom windows they made for us to retain the original character of the property and the built-in wooden joinery they crafted.

The entire team was exceptional—every person we interacted with was friendly, helpful, and took the time to answer all our questions.

We’re delighted with the results and highly recommend working with them!

Complemented by striking steel glazing systems from industry leaders like VELFAC, Sightline, and The Rooflight Company, each space is infused with natural light, energy efficiency, and enduring quality—elevating everyday living into an extraordinary experience.
