Just a stone’s throw from Guildford, Latch Cottage has been transformed from a compact, dated house into a warm, contemporary family home that celebrates both art and nature. Designed for a young, energetic family who live in London during the week, their week end home balances elegance, functionality, and a love of the outdoors.

Stripped back to its brick and mortar, the cottage was reimagined from the ground up. New bedrooms, including a master with ensuite were added, and layouts were fully reconfigured to maximise light, space, and flow. Downstairs, a spacious kitchen and dining area opens seamlessly into a sunlit conservatory and landscaped BBQ terrace, while a cosy sitting room with inglenook fireplace frames serene garden views.

Outside, the gardens were redesigned for family life and play, with direct access to scenic Surrey Hills footpaths. Every detail blurs the line between indoors and out, creating a home that feels bright, harmonious, and alive with personality and a touch of nature.
