PATRICK GRANT KEEPS THE HOME FIRES BURNING

Sustainable Living in a 17th Century Home. BBC Sewing Bee judge and designer Patrick Grant takes us inside his stunning Grade II listed home near the Lancashire/Yorkshire border, a property with roots stretching back to 1690, to share the story of a very special restoration project. Tucked away in the dining room was an original 1950s ESSE 450 stove, complete with its beautiful bluey-green iridescent enamel shell and iconic mid-century curves. Rather than replace it, Patrick partnered with master stove makers ESSE to breathe new life into it, preserving the vintage exterior while fitting a modern, clean-burning firebox inside. The result? A piece of history that meets today's efficiency standards and is ready for another 70 years in the home. For Patrick, it's about more than just aesthetics. It's a philosophy, one that runs through his sustainable fashion label Community Clothing and every decision he made renovating this historic property. Fewer better things. Quality over convenience. Craftsmanship that endures. Discover more about ESSE stoves at https://www.esse.com/. #PatrickGrant #SustainableLiving #ESSEStoves #HeritageHome #Restoration #BritishDesign #GradeIIListed
