San Stae took on the renovation of a two bedroom apartment in Umberslade Hall, a  magnificent grade II* 17th century mansion once leased to Triumph Motorcycles.

We approached this project with the intention of updating the apartment with a historic sensitivity, retaining as much of its uniqueness and character as possible.  

The kitchen enjoyed the greatest transformation. Its formerly tight galley layout was reorganised by the removal of a single stud wall enabling it to now flow seamlessly into the dining room. Laminate worktops were replaced with veined marble slabs and bulky cupboards were swapped with floating open shelves to optimise the beautiful views of the surrounding parkland. 

The property also underwent a full refurbishment of both bathrooms, the hallway and living room including the laying of new oak boards and chequered marble tiles.
