Chequer Tree Cottage – Complete renovation

This property nestled in the Kent countryside was completely redeveloped from a two up two down 1800s farm workers cottage to a spacious 3 bedroom, two bathrooms with two lounge areas. Oak framed throughout and extended twice over a five-year period to include a garden office and utility.

The first development saw the original downstairs reconfigured switching out the very small kitchen for a family bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower cleverly tucked under the stairs. The farmhouse flag stone floor in the newly created hallway led to a large kitchen diner created in the previous courtyard and coal shed. A stunning handmade kitchen, dark oak floor and roof lantern created a warm welcoming space for the family of three. With a new addition arriving in 2014 a link detached oak framed barn was erected to house a new lounge and primary bedroom with en-suit and walk in wardrobe.
