A refined second home in one of Cheshire’s most sought-after postcodes
Duplex Residence | Alderley Edge
Located in the heart of Alderley Edge, this expansive three-bedroom duplex residence has been transformed from a stark, developer-grade shell into a richly layered home. Designed for a client seeking to move into a new second property, the space was reimagined with a focus on warmth, materiality, and quiet sophistication, creating a deeply personal sanctuary in one of Cheshire’s most sought-after locations.
At the heart of the home is a dramatic 5.5-metre-high lounge, where the soaring ceiling is anchored by bespoke joinery, soft lighting, and sculptural finishes. A clay-textured feature wall adds depth and tactility, offset by hand-crafted cabinetry and curated shelving that blend function with refined form. Throughout the residence, carefully selected materials - from fluted clay detailing to elegant textiles - bring a sense of natural calm and understated luxury.
The client’s wish to bring across some of the loose furniture from their previous property was seamlessly incorporated, blending these treasured pieces with newly sourced furniture and custom joinery. This thoughtful integration ensures continuity while embracing the unique character of the new space.
With three generous bedrooms, considered storage solutions, and a layout tailored for modern living, the space now strikes the perfect balance between grandeur and comfort. It’s a home that welcomes, whether for a quiet evening in or entertaining guests, reflecting the lifestyle and personality of its owners with impeccable style.
This project is a true expression of the Claire West Interior Design ethos: elegant, textural interiors that feel effortlessly liveable, yet entirely bespoke
Some furniture and accessories in this space were sourced from previous collaborations and are now part of the client’s collection, thoughtfully integrated into the new design.
