"Achieving the balance between a careful and sympathetic restoration, while keeping on schedule, is a tough ask in a period refurbishment when you always uncover the unknown in the process. Stonewood completely exceeded our expectations, not in the least because they pulled out all the stops to get a team on site within days of the initial enquiry. They effortlessly juggled the ever changing brief, were quick to provide practical and pleasing solutions, yet never compromised on the superior level of quality and craftsmanship they delivered."
Steve Egford, surveyor for Knight Frank - Architect and Contract Administrator.
The timeless beauty of this beautiful Georgian Grade II listed 6 bedroom village residence, situated on the River Kennet in rural Wiltshire was just waiting to be rediscovered following its tired and outdated 1980’s renovation. We were able to rediscover and restore its hidden charm and create a contemporary living space enhanced by its classic original features.
"At Stonewood we pride ourselves on being responsive, that’s why we are used to providing effective results even with changing briefs. Whether you uncover something unexpected, or a client changes their mind partway through a project, we are always proactive at embracing changes that are needed as the project progresses.
"In Axford we were tested by having to provide immediate action and proved we were up to the challenge. We received the first enquiry about the project on Friday afternoon and literally had a team on site ready to start work on Monday morning. Offering this level of service and matching it with exceptional working standards meant we were able to meet the standards our client desired."
Matt Aitkenhead, Stonewood Managing Director
Following 9 months of meticulous renovations in Axford, the client appointed Stonewood to carry out the further refurbishment of their Guest Cottage and the conversion of a former Dairy into luxurious living accommodation.
