Owning a home in an area as culturally rich and interesting as Battersea has many challenges, including maintaining your properties value and keeping your home fresh and inspiring, whilst at the same time maintaining its architectural pedigree. Here at Lifestyle Interiors we understand Battersea homes and can help you with all your Refurbishment requirements.
Battersea has always required home refurbishment services of one sort or another. Battersea encompassed many different types of land in one holding, upland and lowland, with woodland, arable and pasture land to enable maximum exploitation of local variations, with provision for grazing, crops, reed harvesting (for thatching), fishing and a ready
supply of building material. In fact, thatching was big business for home refurbishment back in the 6th century and for many years to come. Whilst we don't offer thatching anymore, due to the decline in reeds from the Thames, we can offer roofing services, if your interested.
Interestingly enough, in 1225, the manor in Battersea was given over to monks for their maintenance in bread and ale. This gave them rights over the income generated from the manor and its administration. So they could buy beer.
With a nice new wooden bridge built by builders in 1771 connecting Battersea to London proper, Battersea began to grow, requiring more builders and homes. Battersea was famous at this point for its asparagus crop known as "Battersea Bundles", as well as its Lavender and pig breeding. By 1874 Battersea was an industrial power house and the birth place for The Morgan Crucible, one of the largest UK manufacturers of carbon and ceramic products for industrial use. This expansion simply fuelled the need for house refurbishments, and whilst Lifestyle Interiors have not been around for that long, they would have been in high demand.
Long gone are the swaying reeds of the Thames and the fields of ripening asparagus. Today nearly every inch of Battersea is accounted for with real estate. This has caused a rapid increase in the value of houses and their inherent value, which in turn has driven the market for home refurbishment, a market that today Lifestyle Interiors serves with vest and vigour. Contemporary 21st century services offered include:
Through bespoke high end cosmetic design and refurbishment it is often possible to increase the value of a property by 5-10% whilst making your home more attractive, welcoming and nicer to live in.
Whilst valuers may find it hard to place a figure on the increase in value made by cosmetic improvements, the market will always place a premium on an attractively decorated and styled property.
Lifestyle Interiors can assist you with ideas that will make a difference to the visual impact of your home such as reopening fireplaces, upgrading lighting features, restoring natural features or adding aesthetically pleasing accessories.
