Coastal property, South East England

Conservation™ Box Sash Windows by Mumford & Wood have been specified in the extensive and sympathetic refurbishment of a 260-year old coastal property in South East England.

This beautiful three-storey home, which has an extensive basement over two floors, has been in the family for over 50 years and has been cherished and enjoyed.  When left to the current owners, what was thought to be no more than a six-week ‘makeover’ is, some months later, an on-going project.

“The windows have a large role to play in this house, there are a lot of them, and we have fabulous views,” says the homeowner.  “Had the windows been wrong in any way we could easily have spoilt this rather handsome building.  The transition from old to new had to be totally authentic and being an aged property meant that we relied heavily on the technical advice Mumford & Wood gave us which is clearly where they have great experience.  We had long discussions about how the product could be adapted to overcome complex problems with the surrounding brickwork.  Mumford & Wood found a way.
