Refurbishment Case Study East Cottage, St Andrews

Refurbishment case study

Client Brief

Our client approached us to refurbish East Cottage, just outside St Andrews. The cottage was run down with damp issues; a labyrinth of rooms in a fairly small cottage; an unkempt garden; an ancient boiler system in the lounge; an unused outhouse; and generally a lack of finesse. The owner wished to convert the cottage to holiday let use and be engaging with some “wow” to set it apart from the competition.

The challenge

Project Objectives

We detailed a plan and timeline to tackle the required work. Our tradesmen took the cottage back to the shell in places, re-plumbed, re-wired and made good all defects.

A new kitchen and bathroom were installed and new furniture and furnishings were presented throughout. The “wow” factor was achieved with a set of bi-fold doors to the garden, a wood burning hot tub under a bespoke gazebo and wood panelling throughout the cottage.
