At Presence & Co., we believe that creating homes is about more than just bricks and mortar—it’s about bringing visions to life. Whether it’s a bespoke dream home, a heritage restoration, or a smart, stylish renovation, our residential development team delivers high-quality, thoughtfully designed spaces from the ground up.

More Than Maintenance – We’re Residential Developers

We’re known for our expert in-house maintenance, but our capabilities extend far beyond. We’re also residential developers, offering an end-to-end solution for clients who want a partner they can trust to handle every step of the process. From the first sketch to final styling, we can:

• Design and build bespoke homes
• Renovate and reimagine existing spaces
• Manage ongoing maintenance and block management
• Handle health & safety compliance
• Sell or let the property in-house

It’s a full-circle service—we don’t just build it, we look after it too.

Case in Point: The Gothic-Inspired New Build

One of our most standout projects was the Gothic-inspired home built from scratch for a client with a clear and creative vision. This four-bedroom property was designed with dramatic interiors, including a cinema-style TV room with LED lighting, a high-end open-plan kitchen, and rolling gardens secluded from the road.

Working alongside our partners at Dark Projects, we managed the entire build, acting as a single point of contact from planning to handover. The result? A one-of-a-kind home that combines bold architectural character with smart, modern living.

Salomons Estate – Breathing New Life into History

Our work at Salomons Estate saw us transform a set of historic Victorian potting sheds into four charming holiday cottages. The Garden Cottages – Peony, Lavender, Rose, and Honeysuckle – are now fully fitted for modern stays, while still retaining the original brickwork and rustic timber structure.

This heritage restoration wasn’t just about aesthetics – it was about creating a space that would help fund the long-term conservation of Salomons House, while adding value to the local tourism offering. We worked closely with the estate and architects to manage every phase of the project, ensuring the cottages were both thermally efficient and historically respectful.

Beautifully Bespoke Interiors

We’re just as passionate about smaller residential projects as we are about full-scale builds. A recent example includes a residential kitchen renovation that was tailored to include an upstairs laundry room and a walk-in wardrobe—proof that the small details make the biggest difference in how a home works and feels.
