Rosewood Manor

/ Cotswolds

Sensitive renovation featuring timbers to match the architectural style

New kitchen layout creates open plan living kitchen space

Contemporary Country Living

Surrounded by 2.3 acres, Rosewood Manor is located in the heart of the Cotswolds – a family home built with traditional Cotswolds stone and with views overlooking the rolling countryside. The clients wanted a sympathetic and thoughtful renovation of Rosewood Manor, creating contemporary spaces for family living.

The architectural design has sensitively preserved the historic character of the property, whilst modernising the house for modern family life by creating a Pilates Studio, as well as guest accommodation and entertaining annexe. The design celebrates family life in harmony with the homeowner’s business.

Large glass doors allow light to flood in and creates a connection with the outdoors

Originally two farmworkers’ cottages from the early 1900s, the architecture team realised the existing floor space needed thoughtful reconfiguration. The new design combines two previously separate reception rooms to create a large kitchen-living room, acting as the central family hub and heart of the home. The space is now flooded with natural daylight, with wide glazing linking the indoors to the landscaped gardens outside.

Cotswolds Inspired

Located in the Cotswolds, the clients at Rosewood Manor were inspired by the surrounding landscapes. The brief for the interior design was to create a characterful and relaxed family home with a country style – celebrating the historic and introducing touches of the contemporary.

The triple aspect formal living room is designed to be elegant, yet emanate warmth. The traditional fireplace adds a cosy ambience, whilst the Crittal-style doors create a closer connection to the surrounding garden.

Farmhouse dining table anchors the living space

Thanks to the architectural reconfiguration of the manor house, the kitchen has become the heart of the home. A sprawling farmhouse dining table anchors the space – creating the perfect spot for long Sunday lunches and entertaining friends. Brass hardware and floral fabric soften the contemporary edges, whilst the Lacanche stove takes centre stage.

Designed with the bustle of family life in mind, the boot room mixes rustic terracotta floors with bespoke joinery from Langstaff – embracing functionality with a country style. The tailored storage houses wellies and boots on one side, and generous laundry cabinetry on the other.

The interior architecture was a key element in transforming the historic property to one suitable for modern family life. Bespoke joinery from Langstaff is featured throughout the manor house, creating functional yet beautiful storage spaces – including a library and hidden bar in the living room, generous pantry and wine storage areas in the kitchen, and a new bespoke dressing room for the primary bedroom.
