This board tracks how we move Norfolk country houses from first room walk-through to finished styling. Flint cottages near Holt, Georgian townhouses off the Cathedral Close, and Broadland villas each enter at Scope, pass through Design, and close at Handoff with a room-by-room record you can keep.
Country kitchens
Aga lanes, dresser walls, and pantry corners measured against Norfolk brick and chalk rubble walls before any joinery is ordered.
Guest wings
Spare bedrooms and dressing nooks in annexes where visitors stay for weekend shoots and family gatherings.
Garden edges
Conservatory thresholds, loggia seating, and mudroom transitions where indoor warmth meets Norfolk weather.
Hearth rooms
Inglenooks, wood-burner surrounds, and sitting layouts that respect chimney breasts in flint and brick cottages.
Material palette
Flint greys, chalk whites, oak boards, and linen weaves sampled under east-window light typical of the Wensum valley.
Working process
Five stages from measured survey to final styling day, written for owners who split time between Norwich and the coast.
Portfolio notes
Completed rooms in Reepham farmhouses, Elm Hill parlours, and coastal villas where boards moved to done.
Fees in GBP
Consultation, room packages, and whole-house retainers priced for Norfolk commissions without hidden day rates.

Norwich studio, Norfolk fieldwork
Kindred Haven Villas works from 9 Gentleman's Walk in Norwich NR2, a short walk from the market and the Lanes. Most styling days happen in client homes across the county — from city terraces with original fireplaces to barn conversions near the Broads.
We specialise in country house proportion rather than showroom gloss: rooms that feel lived-in, readable in winter lamplight, and honest about flint, timber, and plaster that has settled over decades.
