From gatekeeper’s lodge to luxury retreat. Built in 1846 as part of the original Gothic Revival vision for Pudleston Court, the North and South Lodges were designed to create a memorable first impression, welcoming visitors to the estate long before they reached the main house.
Our brief was to breathe new life into these remarkable buildings while remaining true to their architectural heritage. The interior celebrates the original character of the lodges, with exposed stone walls, leaded windows and painted timber beams providing a rich historic backdrop. The existing shaker kitchen in a soft heritage green, together with natural timber finishes and a restrained palette, complements the architecture beautifully, providing the perfect foundation for a scheme that feels calm, timeless and entirely at home within the building.
Through carefully considered decoration, furnishings and finishing touches, we ensured the lodges meet the expectations of modern living while retaining the charm and authenticity that make them so special. The result is a space that feels as though it has evolved naturally over generations, offering all the comfort of a contemporary retreat within the historic fabric of the building.
Restoring and reimagining heritage buildings is one of the most rewarding aspects of our work, preserving their stories while ensuring they continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.
