The décor had been untouched since the 1950s, so needed totally gutting, but thanks to its connection to nature and well-proportioned rooms, interior designer Anna could visualise their forever home.

During a six-month renovation they transformed the space by adding two extensions – the first a stunning vaulted open-plan kitchen-diner, and the second a two-bedroom loft extension with a bird’s-eye view of the forest.
