bath on either side. The shower was made to
be biggest feature with rain bars, water jets
and multiple rain showers. A music system
was also integrated into this area.
MODERN TECHNOLOGY
The entire house was wired with cat 6 cabling
to ensure future proofing. Mike isn’t keen on
wireless connectivity because of its failings
so everything had to have a cable. His mixing
deck connected into the house and sound
system, he had a catalogue hard drive which
stored all his music and videos that he could
access from his phone remotely or anywhere
in the house where TV’s were for example.
THE RESULT
After nine months, Tilney had been
transformed into a stunning unique
contemporary home with a look that is
elegant and sophisticated, yet still warm
and homely. His home went onto win an
International Design Award. Overall, the lower
floor comprises three bedrooms with two
bathrooms, with a kitchen / dining area with
outdoor roof terrace upstairs. Wilcox has
now lived at Tilney for a few years, and has
since met a partner, who now lives with him
at the property.
VALUE ADDED
Mike bought the property for £950,000.
He spent £225,000 in total on the redesign
and refit by 1.61 London.
The current property is now estimated to
be worth £1.9m, giving Mike a profit of
approximately £725,000.
