Karpet Mills Add Special Touch to Historic Country House in Northumberland
Karpet Mills, the North East’s leading quality carpet retailer, recently completed a special project for Hesleyside Hall, a 14th century stately home located in the heart of Northumberland.
With the assistance of world-famous carpet manufacturer Hugh Mackay, Karpet Mills were able to replace the current time-worn, antique stair carpet that had been part of the home for over a century, by creating a bespoke, produce-to-order, unique carpet runner that replicated the original design.
“We understand what our customers want and try to provide that in a simple and efficient way, no matter how big or small the job is” says Karpet Mills Director, Conrad Dickinson “We have a very simple philosophy – sell quality carpets at low, low prices – backed up by first rate customer service – the customer is key.” He adds, “We have buyers across Europe sourcing products at crazy prices, and due to our years of experience in the industry, we have strong connections that allow us to take on specialist projects like the bespoke stair carpet for Hesleyside. For customers who haven’t visited us before, we invite them to see why we have been successfully selling carpets for over a century – old fashioned service; modern day, competitive prices.”
Located in the heart of the Northumberland National Park, Hesleyside has been the ancestral home of the Border Reiver Charlton family since 1343. The current mansion, which is a Grade II listed building, was built in 1719.
Hesleyside Hall is currently managed by William and Anna Charlton, who have carried out extensive conservation and upgrade work and diversified the estate to include bed and breakfast shepherd's huts in the grounds, and is now a popular spot for visiting tourists from all over the UK and abroad.
“It seems anything is possible at Karpet Mills.” Says Anna Charlton, owner of Hesleyside Hall. She added “We were very concerned about replacing a very worn and ornate antique stair carpet and had almost given up hope of finding anything similar. Conrad and the team used their wealth of experience and contacts and found a manufacturer in the UK who could, not only copy the exact design but produce something of very high quality that was still affordable. The service at Karpet Mills was amazing and it was an absolutely pleasure working with them. The carpet is beautiful, in keeping and will last another generation.”
Karpet Mills combines the experience gleaned from over a century trading with the modern-day expectations of quality and service to provide the full package for every customer, with all three branches, Kingston Park, Hetton-le-Hole and Gateshead, trading 7 days a week.
