“It Is So Incredible”: The House Is 340 Years Old. What Does It Look Like Inside After Renovation?
In 1680, during Isaac Newton’s groundbreaking work on his theory of gravity, a charming stone cottage emerged somewhere on Earth, nestled near the north coast of Cornwall.
Decades later, a young family acquired the cottage and embarked on a journey of restoration and renovation. After completing essential upgrades to the home’s infrastructure, attention turned to enhancing the interior spaces. Opting for a style they affectionately dubbed “vintage rustic glamour,” the owners set out to transform the cottage’s ambiance.
Given the characteristic small windows and low ceilings typical of older cottages, the interiors initially felt dim and cramped. To remedy this, the walls, ceilings, and beams received a fresh coat of bright white paint, amplifying the sense of light and space within. Complementing this, white window frames were installed to maximize the reflection of natural light throughout the home.
Incorporating elegant chandeliers and decorative mirrors further elevated the cottage’s aesthetic, infusing it with a touch of sophistication while accentuating the luminous atmosphere.
The main living and dining area occupies a space that dates back 340 years, with an added extension now housing the charming rustic kitchen and a bathroom featuring retro fittings.
Previously, all culinary activities were centered around the fireplace in the main living area before the kitchen space was incorporated.
Bathroom:
A staircase adjacent to the fireplace leads to the upper level, where two cozy bedrooms are nestled beneath the sloping roof.
Stairway
A cozy nook adjacent to the fireplace has been fashioned into a snug lounge area, complete with a vintage leather armchair and a collection of books.
Adjacent to the window, a seat upholstered in lambskin provides yet another inviting spot to curl up with a good read.
