22 Lever Street

To design & refurbish 8,500 sqft. Of basement offices, kitchen, and W.C.s and to create an agile creative space for a ‘rent by desk’ model for creatives and a facility which includes shower, meetings rooms and high table collaborative space.

The Challenges

The rear space was damp, like a warren of W.C.s and Kitchen, there was a concealed goods lift, and the drains required replacing. We worked closely with the Landlords to make the best of the footprint and to accommodate the workspace, separate offices and phone booth / quiet space, kitchen breakout, IT room and shower / W.C.s.

Scope of Works

The design and office space planning was submitted to Building Control and the programme period was 12 weeks. Scope of works: Demolition, structural works, structural waterproofing, drainage, partitioning, crittall glazing, plumbing, mechanical, heat recovery, ventilation, LED lighting, joinery, ceramic tiling, polished concrete floors and carpet tiles

Interior Design

The Grade II Listed basement is utilised as a shared resource for the upper floor tenants, the shower, meeting rooms and kitchen / breakout and there are desks to rent on flexible terms

Carl's thoughts

“We believe good design doesn’t just look great, it supports your business model. At Lever Street, a ‘rent-by-desk’ scheme demanded spaces that adapt; meetings, collaboration, quiet zones—all seamlessly integrated.”

Working closely with the creative team at Jolie Studio, our hospitality interior designers delivered a first-class design and build package that honoured the building’s heritage while elevating its style and function. With over three decades of experience in hospitality fit-outs and commercial interior design, we completed a full renovation of this Grade II Listed manor house in only 14 weeks.

As specialists in commercial fit outs across Manchester and the UK, Select Interiors approached the project with a deep understanding of historical buildings. Every element of the fit out balanced conservation with modern comforts. The brief required a full transformation of both private and public spaces, including:

● 8 boutique bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms
● A high-end restaurant and bar
● Drawing room, lounge, and cloakroom
● Office and communal spaces
● Formal meeting room with Crittall glazing and slim-line sliding screens

The outcome is a venue that is perfect for weddings, private events, and hotel guests, all while preserving the charm and integrity of the original architecture.

Scope of Works

This fit-out combined traditional craftsmanship with modern luxury. Materials such as marble, smoked oak, wool, linen and natural stone were carefully selected to reflect the Cotswold vernacular and enhance guest comfort.

Our refurbishment included:

Structural damp-proofing and remedial works
Full mechanical, plumbing and electrical installations
Dry lining, plastering, and bespoke decoration
Bespoke joinery and fabrication at our workshop
Marble and ceramic wall and floor tiles
Custom glazed shower screens
Signage and graphics
Installation of Crittall-style glazed partitions

Our in-house joinery team manufactured bespoke features at our workshop in Manchester, allowing us to maintain exceptional quality across every detail.

Interior Design

As experienced interior designers and hospitality interior design specialists, we collaborated closely with conservation officers to ensure all work complied with Grade II Listed specifications.
Jolie Studio’s vision was translated into timeless interiors that offer a sense of luxury and sophistication.

The design language is subtle yet luxurious, mixing heritage features like fireplaces and exposed stone with contemporary finishes and smart space planning.

The interiors now reflect the prestige of the postcode, Chipping Campden, one of the UK’s most exclusive areas, making Charingworth Manor one of the finest countryside wedding venues in the country.

The Hospitality Fit Out

Select Interiors’ commercial interior designers managed the entire programme, coordinating trades and approvals to meet the tight schedule. By leveraging our experience with commercial fit outs in Manchester and nationwide, we delivered on time without compromising on quality or detail.

All works were completed to the highest standard, ensuring both the venue’s style, practicality and ability to meet compliance were considered: a hallmark of our approach to hospitality spaces.

Outcome

Charingworth Manor now stands as a benchmark for sensitive restorations and elegant design in the hospitality sector. Guests enjoy a comfortable space full of character, while the operations team benefits from an efficient, high-performing environment.

From the bar to the bridal suite, every detail supports the experience of luxury, heritage, and celebration.
