My Renovation Story - Catherine Halliday-Taylor, Shropshire // Location 2795

This is not a renovation for the faint of heart.
Built in the 1800s, Oakhurst Hall started out as a family home and was later turned into a girls' boarding school - which gives you a sense of its size.
Location Partner, Catherine Halliday-Taylor, and her husband bought the 14,000 sq ft property with a view to transforming back into a family home.
As Catherine explains, it's taken a lot of work, ingenuity, and broken nails to make the house as beautiful as it today - but it's been totally worth it.

I love seeing people renovate these old places instead of them just continuing to fall into a state of disrepair! Beautiful job!

magical - my dream to own a character property with a luxury conversion yet inkeeping of historic features in the home.

The entrance hall is spectacular!

Love the resourceful furniture sourcing! Wondering if you had builder quotes or previous knowledge of how to cost up the renovations? I often see beautiful run down period homes at good prices but no idea if renovation costs are potentially 10x!

So gorgeous, makes me want to decorate my whole house all over again. Can you give any advice on where to .look for wallpaper. Parrticularly ove the wallpaper design in your bedroom and also the wallpaper used for the hallway in the other property you refurbished and sold in Shropshire

Would like to see more of this.

Except the laundry roomt the rest of the renovation could apply to any type of flat or house ,it feels completely diisconnected from the building history and style. What a shame!
