Architect & interior designer in Claverley

The houses of Claverley

The conservation area holds an exceptional group of timber-framed and sandstone buildings around All Saints, with brick infill from later centuries and farmhouses scattered through the lanes towards Bobbington and Worfield. A high proportion of the housing stock is listed, and much of it has thick walls, low ceilings and small openings.

What is worth doing first in Claverley

The frames here are older and lower than Nantwich’s townhouses, and the rooms are smaller. That pushes the work outwards to the least significant parts of the building — later rear ranges and outbuildings — where a modern kitchen or garden room can be added without touching the historic core at all.

Architecture and interiors, decided together

The wall you move decides the joinery that fits against it; the window you add decides the colour that works beneath it. Because I design both, decisions in Claverley houses get made once — plan, light, kitchen, storage, materials and lighting resolved as a single scheme rather than handed between an architect and a decorator six months apart.
