Part 2 of the 400 year old farmhouse cottage soon to be air bnb I’ve been working on. After finishing off all the general joinery around the cottage including doors, windowsills, skirtings etc I installed this shaker style kitchen. Using solid oak worktops and the Belfast sink really helps to give the country cottage feel and a rustic vibe. Fitting fully integrated washing machine, dishwasher and fridge helps to keep the overall style without too many mod cons on show. This cosy cottage will be an amazing air bnb especially in those colder months with the log burner lit in the gorgeous original stone fireplace.

Here’s part 1 of a project I’ve been working on recently on an over 400 year old farmhouse. This is the outside area of what will be an air b and b cottage to rent in part of this beautiful old farm house. This project consisted of uncovering and restoring the original cobbled street to the side of the farmhouse estimated to be as old as 450 years old! This had been covered over by grass and weeds for years so was interesting to expose this ancient rd and see some of the original features brought back to life including the drainage channels. I then patched in and edged the rd where it had fallen into disrepair using old stone from around the farmyard. The second part of the exterior project was to tidy up and pave the 2 walled areas to create some useable space for anyone coming to stay at the property. Eventually there will be a hot tub in the area topped with wooden seating!! Part 2 (the interior) of this property coming soon!

This project started from a simple customer sketch and chat and was basically given free reign to create my own interpretation of their initial idea. I came up with a 2 tone walnut and oak design with 3 staggered layers to create a feeling of perspective for the mountains, and helped the give the trophy a bit of depth front to back.

Here’s the latest phase of a house I’ve been working on over the last few years. Finally getting round to putting underfloor heating and chequered tiled floor finish to an extension kitchen/dining area that’s been a work in progress for a while now!
Don’t think my knees will ever be the same again😂!

Just want to say a huge thanks to all my customers this year. It’s not been the easiest year for me with several serious injuries causing me to have the most time off work I’ve ever had! I wanted to thank all my loyal customers who have stuck with me and had great patience to wait for their work to be done through the constant delays. I really appreciate each and every single one of you and hope the wait was worth while in the end!!
Here’s looking forward to a healthy, injury free 2026 for me and likewise to all my customers. Merry Christmas everyone from Matt. Hope you and yours have a very merry Christmas and a great 2026!
