MWB Residence Limited

Our team retained much of the original character of the barn but introduced a complimentary pallet of modern and traditional materials: reclaimed brick and English oak, black larch cladding, exposed steel and a large framed glass entrance between the triple garage and the steel framed shippon which houses the large open plan kitchen/living area. Construction, project and cost management was undertaken by the MWB team to create this stunning home with large open spaces and an abundance of natural light. Over two floors this barn is over 5500sqft including a master bedroom, two children’s bedrooms with ensuites and mezzanine sleeping areas, two further spares bedrooms and a family bathroom. The open areas include a feature pegged oak frame and glass encased bar between the dining room and the snug lounge, a playroom, study, formal lounge and open plan kitchen living area across the full width of the rear elevation all perfect for hosting guests.

This sleek, modern, mid terrace 2-bedroom contemporary cottage was created from a disused 200-year-old open store, previously used for sheltering farm animals. MWB Residence & MWB Architecture were asked by the clients to provide Design & Build services which included all building, construction, fit out and interior specification. Opening the entire rear of the building and providing an open mono pitched extension to house the minimalist kitchen and entertaining space. On entering through the front door, you are met with the free floating, industrial style, lightweight steel, oak, and glass stair which effortlessly ties together the three floors. Open plan living to the ground floor, with snug lounge and two ensuite double bedrooms complimented with a second-floor external roof terrace, free standing bath and discreet lighting all help to provide a stunning small home.

This deceptively spacious 2600sqft detached family home, spanning three floors, combines traditional and modern elements to create an inviting 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence. The property represents the first open-market development by MWB, showcasing their expertise in navigating local planning regulations, with full planning permission secured in collaboration with MWBArchitecture. Originally part of a semi-detached pair of cottages, the dwelling has been transformed into an impressive standalone home, 30% larger than its predecessor. A further 50% volume increase was achieved through a two-storey side extension. The exterior features include facing brick, pitched face dressed natural stone, English oak, and natural slate. These are complemented by anthracite grey windows and black cast replica rainwater accessories. Inside, the finishes and interior design, completed by MWBArch, blend bold colours and ornate patterns to evoke a cosy, warm cottage ambiance.
