The principal bathroom / Princethorpe, Warwickshire

Old stone.
A softer reflection.

The principal bathroom brings a contemporary bathing space into the coachhouse’s historic fabric. The stone wall and changing ceiling line remain part of the room, while the bath and vanity introduce quieter, simpler shapes.

An oversized arched mirror draws the eye upwards. Warm lighting around the mirror and beneath the storage picks out the new details without losing the texture of the original building.

White Lias Stone Coachhouse · Outdoor kitchen & seating

Entertaining beyond the house.

The Coachhouse project extends into an outdoor kitchen and seating area. Dining, cooking and places to sit form part of the wider home, with the garden considered alongside the rooms inside. The photographs show the patio, planted surroundings and evening seating area, including its serving hatch.

White Lias Stone Coachhouse · Kitchen, dining & bar

The everyday centre of the home.

The kitchen, dining and living areas are supported by a separate pantry and back kitchen. A small bar is tucked inside fitted cabinetry: open the doors to reveal the glass storage, or close them to return to the room’s quieter finish.

White Lias Stone Coachhouse · Indoor–outdoor travertine

A material that carries you inside.

Tumbled travertine continues from the entrance into the hallway, connecting the approach to the house with its interior. Its softened surface and edges sit alongside the original stone and timber, while the continuing floor finish draws the eye through the doorways.

White Lias Stone Coachhouse · Mirrored guest restroom

A small room with an unexpected detail.

The guest restroom pairs a mirrored back wall with a wall-hung WC, concealed storage and a distinctive Glass Design counter-top basin. The mirror reflects the panelling and timber door, adding a different sense of depth to a compact space. Look closely at the meeting of the mirror, flush plate and surrounding finishes.

White Lias Stone Coachhouse · Home office, bedroom & laundry

Space for work and daily routines.

A dedicated home office sits within the wider interior scheme. The same project collection includes the principal bedroom and a galley laundry with a ceiling-mounted clothes airer.

White Lias Stone Coachhouse · Living rooms & cinema

Different places to unwind.

Formal living and drawing rooms are balanced with a cinema and teen space. The photographs show how a single house can offer both shared rooms and places with a more individual atmosphere.

Cinema snug · Teen space

Popcorn, low lights and somewhere to settle in.

The room under the eaves combines deep blue colours, exposed beams, a hanging chair and a screen. The popcorn styling captures its relaxed, playful feel.
