Windrose (former Windrush) is a 1970s bungalow located on a gentle south facing slope in Wootton Courtenay. Its current owners and my Clients – Sir Roger and Lady Carrick purchased it for the sake of its location but were aware of a few issues that needed resolving. The house’s front elevation was unwelcoming and lacked character with the garage door dominating over the entrance, no utility space, only one dated bathroom and 1970s interiors. As my Clients were down-scaling from a larger and more comfortable house they asked me to bring a new property to a similar standard and solve its problems at the same time. This was not a large project but very rewarding as with some small scale alterations, namely additions of two en-suite shower and toilet extensions, the new canopy structure and some minor internal alterations the house changed inside out almost beyond recognition. The refurbishment works involved re-wiring, re-plastering and new plumbing.
