Restoring a Traditional Property on Charmouth High Street
Axminster Design & Build completed the careful restoration of The Old Butchers on Charmouth High Street, bringing the property back to its natural beauty while respecting its original character.
Rather than approaching the project as a conventional renovation, the emphasis was on restoration – retaining and enhancing the qualities of the existing building and ensuring the completed work remained sympathetic to the property.
A Sensitive Approach to Property Restoration
Traditional properties often have distinctive architectural details and materials that contribute significantly to their character.
At The Old Butchers, our approach focused on restoring the property rather than unnecessarily replacing or modernising its traditional features.
Careful consideration was given to the existing building throughout the work, with the aim of allowing its original character and appearance to remain at the heart of the finished property.
Restored to Its Natural Beauty
The objective of the project was simple: to bring The Old Butchers back to its natural beauty.
Restoration work on an older property requires a considered approach. Decisions need to take account of the existing building, its materials and its architectural character rather than treating it in the same way as a modern property.
The completed work has given the property a new lease of life while retaining the qualities that make a traditional building on Charmouth High Street distinctive.
