Aston Fields tells the captivating story of a former post office reborn as the new home for a dynamic accountancy practice. Steeped in history, this Victorian gem holds memories of Mrs. Goode and her family, captured in an archival photograph gracing its frontage. Since 1898, when Enoch Goode managed J Nadin & Co as a colliery agent, to later transitioning to boot sales by 1908, the property has been witness to a rich tapestry of life in Bromsgrove.

San Stae was honoured to have been entrusted with the task of transforming one formerly industrious enterprise into another, marrying its original architectural charm with modern functionality.

With meticulous attention to detail, we're committed to preserving Aston Fields' remarkable heritage while ushering in a new era of productivity and inspiration.

“Working with San Stae was a great experience. Aly helped us to understand the design process from start to finish with minimal stress to us during our refurb which was done while we continued to do our own day job. We are all thrilled with our new office space, and it makes coming to work every day more fun. Our staff and clients have commented on what a stylish yet functional space we now have. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend San Stae to anyone.”

“We worked with Aly of San Stae to help design and furnish our accountancy office in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire following a major structural refurbishment. We took things right back to the brickwork and moved a few walls around, so Aly had a totally clean slate from which to provide us with a number of design ideas and then help narrow in to our chosen final plan. San Stae were then with us through the entire journey, visiting site a number of times throughout the project to ensure things were on track and provide additional pointers or ideas where needed. We really valued the input from start to finish and are extremely pleased with the end result. We get many complimentary comments from our clients too. Thanks Aly!”
