In the heart of Twickenham, a beautifully ornate Victorian terraced home has been restored to its original grandeur through a detailed sash window restoration project.
This Victorian home featured traditional sash windows, which over time had succumbed to wear and tear. The original window boxes remained intact but were in need of thorough restoration. The existing sashes were beyond repair and required complete replacement, posing a delicate task of blending new elements into an old setting without compromising authenticity.
The project involved careful restoration of the original window boxes and fitting three new sash windows to replicate the property’s classic Victorian features. Skilled craftsmen began by meticulously refurbishing the existing boxes, stripping away years of paint, repairing decayed sections, and treating the wood to extend its life. This process ensured the structural integrity of the boxes while maintaining their original character.
The finished restoration brought the house back to life, with the restored sash windows seamlessly blending into the Victorian architecture. Not only did the project enhance the home’s visual appeal, but it also significantly improved its energy efficiency and soundproofing, making it comfortable and practical for modern living.
The Twickenham property now stands as a prime example of how thoughtful restoration can preserve the heritage and charm of a Victorian terrace, while updating it for today’s needs. The new sashes, beautifully set in the restored boxes, highlight the elegance of the original design and mark a successful revival of this historic home.
