Bringing new life to a 1930s property

Situated in an idyllic Essex town, this wonderful 1930s home has been extensively modernised and revitalised by the Connolley family.

“We purchased the house in 2020, a day prior to the first lockdown. It was listed via an open day with sealed bidding. The house had been empty for a couple of years prior and was really run down; we could see its potential and were delighted to win and crack on with our project”

Mrs Connolley explains.

Despite having suffered from being abandoned for a period of time, the property was full of original features and character that the Connolley’s were keen to retain. They stripped the property back to modernise it, while keeping as many of these original features as possible.

Strong desire for timber windows and doors

When describing the process of selecting their new windows supplier, Mrs Connolley comments

“we always wanted to have timber windows. We were speaking to multiple suppliers to compare, and some weren’t open to timber and tried to steer us towards PVC, which we were not interested in”.

Throughout the home, our flush casement windows in ‘Off-White’ were specified, with a classic glazing bar formation to the fanlights; a timeless, yet suitable change from the old leaded windows that were in place at the front of the home at the time of purchase.

In the dining room at the rear of the property, a beautiful set of French doors, with flush casement flag windows provide a functional, and stylish connection between home and garden, and complement the architecture of the home perfectly.

French doors and flush casement windows, finished in ‘Off-White’, with 18mm astragal glazing bars and Polished Chrome Reeded handles. Manufactured in Engineered European Redwood.

Professional process from start to finish

“With Timber Windows, everyone from the team was a pleasure to deal with. We appreciated not being strong armed into a deal or sales pitch”.

“Overall, we are very happy with how it has all turned out and are especially happy with the products!”

the Connolley’s conclude.
