Home improvements & building · Storrington
Make your Storrington rooms easier to live in.
Storrington’s Old School, built in 1868, now houses the district museum, while St Mary’s records successive rebuilding and the priory’s story includes the arrival of Norbertine canons from France in 1882. These are different examples of buildings and communities adapting over time. INTEGRAL welcomes Storrington enquiries from Brighton and Hove, focusing on the rooms, storage and comfort your home needs now.
How could existing space serve a useful new role?
The Old School continued in educational use until the move to Spierbridge in 1964, before finding another role in village life. At home, a change of use can be smaller but just as useful. A spare bedroom might need to accommodate guests and occasional work, or a larger room might lack sensible storage. Establish the principal activity first, then measure the furniture and belongings that must fit around it.
Plan a bathroom around comfortable use
Describe what would make the daily routine easier: a more accessible shelf, room beside the basin, a clearer shower entrance or somewhere to keep towels. A measured layout helps compare those choices against the space available. Consider the doors, lighting and ventilation alongside the fittings. If other people use the room at different times, include their routines too, so the brief reflects the household rather than a standard bathroom arrangement.
Consider warmth as part of the room
The museum’s account of the Old School describes a stove in its original classroom, a reminder of how closely room use and heating have always been connected. For your project, explain when each space is occupied and where comfort is a concern. Discuss existing heating, hot water and controls before committing to new finishes. Equipment locations, service routes and access for maintenance should be considered alongside bedroom storage or a revised bathroom layout.
