Home refurbishment

Project Overview

This Sussex country home required extensive refurbishment, with significant works both inside and out. Ager Build delivered the project over many months, working closely with the clients to refine every detail. The result is a property that was modernised to meet contemporary standards while preserving its traditional charm and character.

Our Solutions

Externally, major improvements were made to the pool and terrace areas. The pool surround, originally timber decking, was removed and replaced with durable sandstone paving, while all coping stones to the retaining walls were reset. At the rear of the kitchen, a large timber deck was removed and rebuilt at a new level, incorporating brick steps, a concrete pad, and porcelain paving. The terrace was finished with bespoke wrought iron railings.

Inside the house, the bathrooms were completely renewed, including five full bathrooms and two downstairs WCs. The kitchen was refreshed with painted oak cabinetry, a quartz worktop upgrade, a re-tiled backsplash behind the Aga, redecorated units with new handles, and feature lighting above the island. The utility room was also refitted with new doors, worktops, flooring, and finishes.

The entire home was redecorated throughout, with the loft converted into four bedrooms and a bathroom. This area was fully stripped back to the studs and rebuilt to modern standards.

The Result
By combining structural changes, decorative upgrades, and careful attention to traditional detailing, Ager Build created a home that feels both characterful and contemporary. The quality of the works has been recognised not only by the original clients but also by future owners, who valued the craftsmanship and design in their decision to purchase the property.
