Marcon House

The client approached us with a 19th-century property, envisioning its transformation into a warm, modern family home while preserving its traditional charm.

We began by discussing the client’s vision in detail, combining their ideas with our expertise and extensive experience working with older properties.

Our work included removing several walls to create additional rooms and implementing an open-plan layout, resulting in a larger, more functional kitchen space. To maintain the integrity of the historic structure, we used lime plaster in certain areas.

The project involved the complete installation of a new bathroom, kitchen, heating system, and a full electrical rewire to meet modern standards.

To restore character to the property, we also reopened the original fireplaces, seamlessly blending its historic features with contemporary comforts.

Client Review

It's hard to put into words what Birch Construction has done for us. We talked to a number of contractors before we met Jake and it was clear to us that he was the contractor we should choose. Our project was a complete renovation of a difficult historic property. We started off with one budget and set of expectations and as can so often happen with older properties as soon as we dug in we found all sorts of unexpected problems. Birch Construction shone through the whole process. They came up with brilliant solutions, working with structural engineers and skilled tradesman and they have literally transformed our property into the amazing home it is today. In conjunction with their trades they have rewired, replastered , removed walls, replaced windows and added custom doors and floors, sanded and stained floor boards , replaced plumbing, bathrooms, the kitchen, wood stoves, built beautiful brick walls out of the bricks removed from the interior of the house, decorated, the list goes on The carpentry work in the house is a source of real joy to us and while I would like to claim credit for the vision of our house's renovation actually alot of it belongs to Jake and his team at Birch. These guys know what to do and how to do it. They are known in our village as the guys who left no stone unturned... which I think says it all. I would not hesitate to recommend Birch Construction, they are skilled, nice, integral and committed.Thank you Jake, and thank you Birch. We are so grateful.
