MODERN CHARM AT OAKLANDS

The renovation of a house in three acres in the Norfolk countryside
Nestled in the heart of the Norfolk countryside, surrounded by lush woodland and open skies, Oaklands Garden is a striking example of how a thoughtful renovation can breathe new life into an older property. The house, a 1980s farmhouse situated on three acres of land, had been left untouched for decades and was in need of a complete overhaul when its current owners, Abi and her husband, took it on.
Abi recalls,“ It had nothing done to it since the 1980s. Everything— from the interiors to the external features— was dated, tired, and in some places, even dilapidated. We knew when we bought it that this would be a full renovation project.
