Built in  by the inentor of stainless steel, arry Brearley, the house was in need of some loe. Brearley purchased the site at the end of the irst World War, and the si bedroom home now sits on more than an acre of spectacular gardens. The couple, haing always lied in Chesterfi eld, were aware of the house and its famous preious occupant, so they umped at the chance when they discoered it was up for sale. James said Wee always liked proects, this was the most unloed property on the street that needed some well-desered TLC They initially thought the proect would take - months to complete, there isnt a suare inch of the property or grounds that haent been refurbished or modifi ed in some way, therefore  months went into two years t cost twice as much as we thought and took twice as long, but we wanted it done a certain way to ensure we achieed the perfect result. James and Rebecca knew that it woulde been far simpler and cost-effectie to knock the house down and start again, but didnt want to add to the throwaway society we

By utilising the eisting terraces, seating and dining areas were created and framed in glass. Wee used the -Railing brand for oer  years as they are the Rolls Royce of balustrade systems said James. Backed up with a fantastic technical support team, along with a professional serice throughout the design and installation process. Taking on a renoation proect of this size can be daunting, and James had the following adice ae a Plan, but keep this updated each week.
