Interior Design in Newtown Linford
Where the Village Meets the Park.
Newtown Linford is one of the prettiest villages in Leicestershire, right at the gate of Bradgate Park. It has old stone cottages with Swithland slate roofs, some thatched, a main street that runs straight into the park and its deer, and most of it sits in a conservation area. Around the village there are bigger family homes tucked into the lanes too. The homes are a real mix, and whatever kind you have, the question is the same: how do we make the most of it for the way you live now?
The best projects here happen when we do them together. You know how you want to live, what you love about your home and what quietly drives you mad about it. We bring the eye, the technical know-how and the team to make it happen. The homes we are proudest of always come out of that back and forth, so we ask plenty of questions and we want you involved the whole way. It works best as a proper partnership.
Older stone homes have their quirks, and it helps to understand them early. Andy spent over twenty years on the technical side of commercial buildings before moving into interiors, so he can read how a place is built, where the structure will let you open up, and what an old or listed home in a conservation area will allow. Whether it is a Charnwood stone cottage or a larger house that needs reworking, sorting that out first is what keeps the whole thing enjoyable rather than stressful later.
Chapter Seven Design is led by Andy and Joe Smith, with a trusted team of trades and makers behind every project. On a home you are still living in, Joe is the one who keeps everything moving and easy on you, so the months of work feel organised and, honestly, good to be part of. The people you meet at the start are the people who see it through.
We take on full home renovations across Newtown Linford and the Charnwood villages and focused work on the rooms that matter most, from kitchens to bedrooms. We are based just along the road in Leicestershire, so this is home ground, and we also work across the wider area, including Rutland and the rest of the East Midlands.
If you have a home near Bradgate Park you would love to get right, bring us your ideas. We would love to hear them.
