A Heritage Vision Brought to Life

Our client approached us with a unique challenge: transforming the guest ensuite in their Grade 2 listed rectory in Great Saling. The project required careful consideration of heritage constraints whilst delivering contemporary luxury that would complement the property's period character.

Working closely with conservation guidelines through our design process, we designed a stunning heritage shower room featuring Ca' Pietra Provence Porcelain Cenere rustic tiles that respect the building's historic character whilst delivering modern functionality.

The walk-in shower with infinity niche and undermounted lighting creates a spa-like experience, whilst the Crosswater Union brushed black brassware adds industrial elegance. The HiB LED mirror with touchless sensor and Roper Rhodes Concierge vanity provide contemporary convenience.

From the bespoke painted Aestus cast iron radiator positioned under the heritage window to the Tissino Giorgio2 Lux seamless shower tray with renewed underfloor heating, every element was carefully chosen to respect the Grade 2 listed status whilst creating a luxurious guest experience. Located just 10 minutes from our Braintree showroom, we specialise in heritage property bathroom installations throughout Great Saling and the surrounding Essex area.
