Located in the idyllic village of Repton, NGA have been appointed as the Architect, Interior designer and garden designer for this impressive six bedroom family home.

Chestnut House is a substantial demolition, extension & 90% rebuild scheme in Repton, for a family of four relocating from London for the excellent and prestigious nearby school - the alma mater of Roald Dahl!

Working holistically as our clients’ single point of contact; as their Architect, interior designer and garden designer on this project has saved our clients valuable time and has made the process more straightforward and enjoyable for them.

The house is an existing property built originally in the1950s with a handsome front facade has been substantially demolished behind the front facade to allow for a complete internal reconfiguration with a large new extension creating a new second floor and very large rear extensions over two levels.

NGA were able to assist our client with the initial vision of the potential of the house, including how it could be made to work with the requirements of their young family, then taking it through to the detail design stage, creating a very detailed tender package. We also searched for and vetted local builders to find trusted and suitable contractors who could take the project forward.

We opted to undertake the project as a two stage process, doing an initial strip out and demolition phase to de-risk the project and discover any latent issues with the house so that the main stage of the project can run smoothly and without any unexpected issues.

For the garden, we have designed a formal style garden with pleached trees to create privacy to all areas. A selection of robust evergreen hedges and shrubs has been chosen with a small selection of perennial flowering shrubs to add extra colour in the summer months.

For the interiors, we are developing a contemporary, bright and stylish scheme with modern simple luxurious surfaces, beautiful light fittings and design classic pieces for the furniture.

We have worked with our clients to understand their needs to create a modern, airy and light filled home with carefully considered details throughout. We are using robust, pale oak flooring suitable for family life, natural limewash paint for the walls with key areas using dramatic marble finishes and subtle nickel accents.

In this image, we have designed a bespoke contemporary fireplace that creates a focal point through the space. Full height glazed doors allow views of the beautiful garden creating a seamless transition between the interior and exterior. Contemporary furniture pieces compliment the minimalist interior, we’ve chosen a Raku Yaki travertine coffee table by Emmanuelle Simon, two comfortable Chieftain chairs by @houseoffinnjuhl , the Julep sofa by @tacchini_italia
a @bertfrankltd Pugil Floor lamp and sculptural wall lights by @apparatusstudio

Outside a formal style garden with pleached trees, evergreen plants and beautiful hydrangeas creates a calm and invigorating space. A generous lawn allows space for children to play football. A minimalist styled, heated pool and sculptural pool house will make their garden a fantastic place to entertain and relax in.
