Award-winning Transformation in Ashtead

Originally built in 1901, this remarkable home underwent an extensive transformation that more than doubled its size from 6,200 sq ft to over 12,000 sq ft. The brief was ambitious: to create a home offering every comfort expected of contemporary family living while preserving the architectural character and individuality that made the original property so special.

The project involved substantial extensions, a complete internal remodelling and extensive refurbishment throughout, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern construction techniques. Every intervention was carefully considered, ensuring the house retained its original character while functioning effortlessly as a modern family home.

The scale of the redevelopment extended well beyond the principal accommodation. A spectacular basement entertainment level was created, complete with a cinema and generous family recreation spaces, while a dedicated leisure complex incorporating an indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gym provides a private wellness retreat that complements the main house perfectly.

Throughout the property, beautifully crafted architectural detailing, bespoke joinery and carefully selected materials create interiors that feel elegant, welcoming and timeless. Every space balances practicality with understated luxury, resulting in a home of exceptional quality that remains wonderfully liveable despite its impressive scale.

The completed project received national and international recognition, winning Best Residential Redevelopment in the UK at the International Property Awards and Best Luxury Residential Renovation Project in South East England at the Luxury Lifestyle Awards. These accolades reflect the vision, craftsmanship and collaborative expertise behind the project and remain a benchmark for the scale and quality of work the Inicio team continue to deliver today.
