Transforming History into a Luxury Family Home
Manor Farm, located in Hoath, marked the debut project for Morgan & Smith – a project that beautifully exemplifies our commitment to preserving history while creating luxurious living spaces. Originally an old grain store steeped in heritage, this building was given a remarkable new lease of life. Through a meticulous process of sensitive deconstruction and reconstruction, it was repurposed into a stunning five-bedroom family home.
The transformation of Manor Farm was a seamless marriage of heritage restoration and modern craftsmanship, resulting in a property that pays tribute to its historic roots while offering all the comforts of contemporary living.
Preserving the Heritage with External Renovations
The renovation of Manor Farm began with a comprehensive overhaul of its external structure to breathe life into its storied past.
New Floors and Re-slated Roof: To ensure the home’s durability and charm, completely new floors were installed, paired with a re-slated roof that stays true to its traditional character while providing enhanced protection and longevity.
Lime-Repointed Brickwork: The original brickwork was carefully lime-repointed, maintaining the building’s authentic look and adding structural resilience in line with conservation techniques.
Hand-Crafted Lead Work: A key element in preserving the home’s heritage, beautiful lead work was meticulously hand-crafted for the roof, providing a timeless detail while staying true to its historical design principles.
These external renovations reflect the painstaking attention to detail required to honour Manor Farm’s architectural history while ensuring it meets the demands of modern family life.
Bespoke Interiors Crafted for Character and Luxury
The interior of Manor Farm is where history meets contemporary elegance. Every feature was designed and executed with precision to create a warm, inviting space that balances functionality with beautiful design.
Bespoke Oak-Panelled Staircase: The staircase serves as the heart of the home, featuring bespoke oak panelling that not only adds warmth and texture but also anchors the transition between old and new within the property. Its craftsmanship is a testament to our dedication to fine details.
Floor-to-Ceiling Windows: The home boasts breathtaking floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interiors with natural light, fostering a sense of openness and creating a seamless connection to the surrounding environment. These windows also highlight the modernisation aspect of the property, providing stunning views that complement its rural setting.
Whether it’s the rich wood tones of the staircase or the contemporary grace of the windows, every interior element of Manor Farm celebrates its heritage while delivering modern sophistication to its inhabitants.
