In the heart of Wiltshire’s picturesque countryside lies a charming 16th-century cottage, a testament to the region’s rich history. Recently, this historic gem underwent a significant restoration project, focusing on its iconic moulded Tudor stone arched doorways.
The Doorway Dilemma
Over time, the original doors and frames of the cottage’s arched doorways had shown signs of wear and tear. To preserve the cottage’s authentic character and enhance its appeal, a decision was made to replace them with new, like-for-like replicas.
A Meticulous Restoration
Taylor PM Services was tasked with recreating the cottage’s original doorways. Working closely with the property owners, the team meticulously measured and designed new doors and frames that perfectly matched the existing Tudor style.
Period-Sensitive Details
Period-sensitive ironmongery was incorporated into the new doorways to ensure the restoration project remained true to the cottage’s heritage. This included traditional hinges, locks, and handles that complemented the overall aesthetic.
The End Result
The completed restoration project has breathed new life into the charming Wiltshire cottage. The beautifully crafted arched doorways, complete with their authentic ironmongery, now stand as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of Taylor PM Services and a lasting tribute to the cottage’s rich history.
The restoration of the Tudor stone arched doorways in this Wiltshire cottage is a prime example of how careful planning and skilled craftsmanship can preserve the heritage of historic buildings. By replacing the worn-out elements with faithful replicas, the cottage’s timeless beauty has been restored for generations to come.
