‘a redesign of a quintessential Georgian town house’

Verity Woolf, Founder

It was an enjoyable challenge for WOOLF to find listed building solutions, that allow historic buildings to meet the needs of modern family living. Our Sion Hill project is a redesign of a quintessential Georgian town house in Bath, where we have sought to enhance the inherent Georgian features of the building, creating beautiful interiors commensurate with a contemporary home fitting for a modern young family.

The property Sion Hill is a characterful bow-fronted Georgian villa, listed Grade II just behind the Royal Crescent in central Bath. The villa has a wealth of original period features and charm including sash windows, shutters, stone hallways stairs and cornices.

The focus of the interior design was to reinstate the Bathstone floored entrance hall, and add colour up the Georgian staircase rising to the upper floors. The kitchen/breakfast room was completely reconfigured to create a modern yet classic family kitchen making the most of the terrific outlook via two ornate windows that gave access to a Regency balcony.

We designed the interiors in such a way as to maintain the Georgian aesthetic, whilst also creating a fun vibrant family home full of colour and texture and light. The drawing room is a truly lovely room with a huge bow window, three full-height sash windows and a working fireplace.
