Sundial
A listed house of Cotswold stone, taken back to a shell. The design starts here.
Sundial House: a listed building of honey-coloured stone in Chipping Campden, looking out at the Market Hall.
When we first saw it, it was a complete shell. Plaster off, floors bare, rubble in the rooms, and the old timbers and stone open to view.
The design starts now. We’ll add to this page as the house comes back to life, from these first pictures to the finished rooms.
Under the strip-out, the house still has its bones: rubble-stone walls, whitewashed beams, opened-up fireplaces and timber trusses in the roof. And traces of the people who lived here: red paint, floral wallpaper, panelling and a run of old Delft-style tiles. This is where the design starts.
Chipping Campden is a Cotswold market town built of the same honey stone, with the Market Hall just across the street. On the first visit we photographed the town’s details too: oak doors, iron lanterns, brass knockers and carved lettering. They’re the reference for what comes next.
