This project transformed an underused corner of the garden into a practical and attractive feature with the construction of a bespoke curved oak sleeper planter. The client sought a low-maintenance area that would soften the surrounding stone walls while providing a raised planting space that would serve as a focal point in the garden.
The project commenced with careful ground preparation before building a curved retaining planter using high-quality green oak sleepers. The sweeping design was created to complement the shape of the existing stone boundary wall, promoting a more natural flow through the garden rather than relying on straight lines. Once the planter was finished, the area was adorned with decorative Cotswold gravel, offering a clean, low-maintenance surface that beautifully contrasts with the natural timber.
The raised planter was crafted to accommodate a variety of shrubs, perennials, and seasonal planting, ensuring year-round interest while simplifying maintenance. The combination of solid oak sleepers, natural stone, and decorative gravel delivers a timeless finish that complements both traditional Cotswold properties and modern homes.

This bespoke fitted wardrobe was designed and handcrafted to maximise storage while complementing the character of a period property in Tetbury. The client wanted a traditional, built-in wardrobe that looked as though it had always been part of the room, providing practical storage without compromising the property's original features. This high-quality renovation seamlessly blends functionality with the charm of the home.
The wardrobe was individually designed to fit the space perfectly, with every component manufactured and installed to create a seamless, built-in appearance. Traditional shaker-style doors were chosen for their timeless design, while the decorative cornice and plinth were carefully detailed to harmonize with the existing mouldings and architectural features within the room.
Following installation, the wardrobe was professionally prepared and spray-finished in a heritage green paint, ensuring a durable, furniture-quality finish. Solid brass handles add a subtle touch of warmth and elegance, complementing both the cabinetry and the traditional fireplace within the room.

This project involved the complete preparation and repainting of the external window frames to transform the appearance of the property's front elevation. The original grey finish had become tired and no longer complemented the timber cladding, so the client chose a softer heritage green to modernise the exterior while retaining the character of the home. This is a perfect example of bespoke landscaping that enhances the overall aesthetic.
Every window was thoroughly prepared before decoration, including cleaning, sanding, filling minor imperfections and applying high-quality exterior coatings designed to withstand the British weather. Careful masking and attention to detail ensured crisp paint lines and a durable finish that will protect the timber and improve the property's kerb appeal for years to come. Such high-quality renovations can significantly uplift the charm of any property.
The new colour works beautifully alongside the natural timber cladding, black front door and cream render, creating a more cohesive and welcoming frontage. Although a relatively simple exterior improvement, changing the window colour has dramatically refreshed the appearance of the property and demonstrates how quality exterior decorating can completely transform a home.
At South Cotswold Renovations, we provide professional exterior decorating, timber restoration and property improvement services throughout the South Cotswolds.

This project involved the installation of a new natural stone patio, creating an elegant outdoor seating area that complements the property's traditional architecture while providing a practical space for relaxing and entertaining. The client wanted a timeless finish that would blend seamlessly with the house and surrounding garden, offering a durable, low-maintenance solution that could be enjoyed throughout the year.
The existing area was carefully prepared before laying premium sandstone paving on a professionally constructed sub-base, ensuring long-term stability and performance. Each slab was individually positioned and levelled to achieve clean lines, consistent joint spacing, and a high-quality finish. The patio was designed to maximize the available space while maintaining easy access around the property, creating a natural transition between the house and the garden.
The light tones of the sandstone complement the white rendered exterior and dark architectural details, crafting a bright, welcoming outdoor living space. The finished patio provides the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, and everyday use, while adding value and enhancing the overall appearance of the property.

This project involved the installation of premium engineered oak flooring to enhance the warmth, character, and functionality of a beautiful home in Castle Combe. The client wanted a timeless flooring solution that complemented the existing natural stone flooring while creating a seamless flow between the living areas, aligning perfectly with our commitment to high-quality renovations.
Following careful preparation of the subfloor, premium engineered oak boards were expertly installed to achieve a clean, precise finish throughout the room. Particular attention was given to the transition between the oak flooring and the stone tiles, where a bespoke solid oak threshold was crafted to provide a smooth, elegant connection between the two finishes. Every detail was completed with precision to ensure a durable, high-quality result that looks as though it has always been part of the property.
The natural grain and warm tones of the engineered oak flooring complement the traditional character of the home while providing the strength and stability required for modern family living. Engineered oak is an ideal flooring solution for both period and contemporary properties, offering the appearance of solid timber with increased resistance to seasonal movement and changes in temperature.

This project involved making good following the installation of a new bespoke window, transforming the room into a bright, clean, and beautifully finished space. After the bespoke window was fitted, the internal reveals required careful plastering, shaping, and finishing before the room could be fully decorated.
The plasterwork was completed to create crisp, symmetrical window reveals that complement the unique shape of the feature window. Once the plaster had fully cured, all surfaces were carefully prepared before receiving a mist coat and multiple finish coats, producing a smooth, seamless finish throughout the room. Particular attention was paid to blending the new work into the existing walls and vaulted ceiling so that the installation looked as though it had always been part of the property.
The finished result is a light, contemporary bedroom where the new feature window maximises natural light while providing uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. The clean decorating finish and meticulously detailed plastering enhance the architectural design of the room, creating a bright and welcoming space.

This project involved replacing an outdated radiator with a modern traditional-style column radiator, leading to enhanced heating performance and an overall aesthetic upgrade of the room. The client sought a heating solution that would not only complement the character of the property but also contribute to high-quality renovations with a cleaner, more refined finish.
The existing radiator was removed, and new pipework was meticulously installed to fit the dimensions of the replacement column radiator. Great care was taken to ensure precise positioning, perfectly level installation, and neat exposed copper pipework, resulting in a finish that enhances the room's traditional features. After the installation, the heating system was rigorously tested to ensure reliable performance and efficient heat output.
The new white column radiator delivers significantly improved heating while serving as an attractive feature in the room instead of merely a functional necessity. Its classic design pairs beautifully with the property's original features, including timber shutters and traditional detailing, creating a timeless finish that elevates both comfort and style.
