We recently had the pleasure of returning to this property in Topsham, Exeter, which we completed three years ago. Seeing it fully furnished and lived in reminded us just how special this project was—and how rewarding it is to see a house become a home.
This high-quality renovation seamlessly blends modern construction with the original character and charm of the property.
One of the standout features of this project is the new glazed link between the two pitched roofs. This bespoke structure creates access to the top-floor living space, improving the flow of the home while inviting an abundance of natural light. Working alongside our excellent joiners at James Riggall Fine Joinery and the talented architects at Savills, this architectural feature was carefully designed to be both functional and visually striking.
The pitched glazed design doesn’t just look impressive- it also provides effective drainage, combining beautiful design with practical performance.
Preserving the property’s original character was equally important. We carefully restored the existing oak timber frame, stripping back the original beams and leaving them exposed as a feature throughout the home. Set against crisp white walls, the contrast highlights the craftsmanship of the historic timber while complementing the clean, contemporary finish.
The result is a home that respects its heritage while providing the comfort, light and functionality of modern living
