At TRS Bespoke Interiors, our small team of designers and craftsmen handcraft bespoke media units for homes across Chagford, each built with real skill, quality materials and a drive to bring your own vision to life, all from our Devon workshop.
Chagford's homes range from the granite buildings around The Square to the more traditional cottages along Mill Street. Every design starts from your own home, built around your taste and whatever makes that particular property what it is, wherever in Chagford you happen to live.
Our workshop sits inland in the Devon countryside, though our craftsmen are regularly out on this edge of Dartmoor, bringing that same dedication to handcrafted excellence into every Chagford home they visit.
TRULY BESPOKE DESIGNS FOR CHAGFORD HOMES
Chagford's homes are shaped by its history as one of Dartmoor's old stannary towns, where granite buildings and narrow streets grew up around the wool and tin trade. The Square holds some of the town's oldest granite buildings, many with thick walls and low doorways typical of the moor, while Mill Street's cottages sit a little further out, with more compact, traditional room proportions.
Along New Street, the Victorian buildings bring slightly more generous room layouts, and out towards Lower Street, the homes tend to sit on larger plots with a more relaxed, rural feel.
Whatever form your Chagford home takes, we can build your bespoke media unit around it.
A bespoke media unit quickly becomes the room everyone gravitates towards, whether that's for a film, watching the football, the kids getting stuck into a game, or just unwinding after a long day with your favourite programme.
Each piece is handcrafted from within our Devon workshop under the direction of Tom Stokes, whose over 15 years of international design and craftsmanship experience have shaped a philosophy rooted in personalisation and unwavering quality standards. Traditional hand skills are brought together with modern craft techniques, producing a finish that effortlessly becomes the centrepiece of any room it's in.
Discreet cable storage and extra drawer space keep the finished piece feeling organised and uncluttered while still incorporating a stunning focal point that reflects your unique style and tastes.
"Tom did a fantastic job for me. He thought long and hard about the best way to build my shelves. I wanted floating shelves; they are even better than I imagined. He's also an easy person to have around. Thanks, Tom!"

LOCAL DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR CHAGFORD HOMES
Homes around Waye Barton often still have their original chimney breast with an alcove either side, a layout that suits a fitted media wall built straight into that existing space.
Rushford is a little different, with granite cottages that tend to bring lower ceilings and thicker walls, so the design there needs to work complementarily with what's already there, not against it. Every Chagford home comes with its own unique architectural features and details, and whatever yours happens to be, we'll build a bespoke creation designed specifically for you and your individual Chagford home.
ONLY THE FINEST MATERIALS
For a Victorian building on New Street, that might mean black walnut with a hand-painted finish, paired with custom oak handles and a palette of warm stone and cream tones that sit comfortably against original features. For a home along Lower Street, homeowners may prefer a richer mahogany with a steamed finish, brushed bronze hardware and a touch of fluted detailing for warmth. Whether it's scalloped edges, antique bronze fittings or a simple, pared-back finish, each design detail and element is chosen to bring a sleek, modern feel or timeless authenticity to the finished space and to earn its place within the design in a way that helps bring your vision to life, depending on whatever you desire.
Every bespoke media unit we build for our Chagford homeowners starts with your own taste and whatever makes your home architecturally distinct, and getting that right matters more to us than simply meeting a brief. Nothing but the finest materials go into the workshop, our eye for detail never drops, and we hold to unwavering quality standards throughout, so the piece you end up with is one built to last for generations to come.
UNMATCHED CRAFTSMANSHIP FOR HOMES ACROSS CHAGFORD
From the farms around Waye Barton to the granite cottages of Rushford, the quieter homes near Week Down and the pocket of properties around Padley, no two corners of Chagford quite look alike, and the homes within them carry just as much variety. Every one of these areas brings its own charm, character and individual proportions that we take into account each and every time.
A bespoke media wall has a habit of becoming the natural centre of a room, whatever's actually going on there, film nights, big matches, or a quiet evening at home. Traditional craftsmanship and more modern methods come together in our approach, giving the finished piece warmth, depth and a cinematic feel that still feels personal to you.
Every Chagford project starts with getting to know the property itself, well before any actual designing begins, taking in how the light moves through the room across the day and whatever quirks come with an older building or the straightforward lines of something newer. That groundwork is what lets the finished piece feel like it's always belonged there, handcrafted around how you and your loved ones actually spend your time in the room.
FOR THE WHOLE HOME
Whether you’re looking for a bespoke kitchen with stunning veined Calacatta marble, handcrafted rift-sawn oak veneer bathroom cabinetry, or a bespoke dressing room that instantly adds a sense of understated luxury and timeless elegance to your space, we can design one-of-a-kind spaces for the whole home. From bespoke home studies and alcove units to bespoke storage in hallways, boot rooms and utility rooms, we can workshop whatever you envision; our dedicated team of skilled craftsmen and designers can handcraft whatever you envision from within our Exeter-based workshop – it just starts with a conversation.
BESPOKE MEDIA UNIT FEATURES
Every aspect of your living space is considered as part of our bespoke media unit design process. A media unit built for a home near Week Down will be nothing like one built for a cottage around Padley, and that's intentional; each design is handcrafted uniquely for your exact room and how you plan to use it.
Bespoke media unit features can include anything from:
Fitted Media Walls: Handcrafted media walls built specifically for your room, pairing handcrafted cabinetry with discreet cable management designed entirely around your setup and your needs.
Bespoke Storage and Cabinetry: From secret pivot doors and hidden compartments to open shelving and handcrafted cabinetry, every piece is uniquely designed for your specific needs and use cases while adding a sense of personality and elegance that effortlessly serves as the room’s focal point.
Integrated Lighting: Lighting solutions built into the design itself, bringing warmth and a sense of subtle drama to the finished piece that makes any viewing experience feel truly cinematic.
Bespoke Luxury Features: Elevate your bespoke media unit to that of luxury through any handcrafted design features you desire, whether that's a sleek fireplace, a handmade concealed home bar, discrete integrated charging stations or solid wood panelling. These enhancements tie your media unit into the rest of the room, each one hand made in our Devon workshop to your precise specifications.
Floating and Wall-Mounted Units: For a lighter, more contemporary feel, our floating and wall-mounted media units pair fine materials with clever design to keep the look effortless and uncluttered.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS FOR BESPOKE MEDIA IN CHAGFORD
-
It's actually a layout we regularly design for, with the alcove giving the fitted wall somewhere natural to sit within the room's existing structure. Cottages like the ones around Middlecott often feature these design elements, and each time we work in such spaces, we build around what's already there from the outset, with your satisfaction and our own high standards guiding every decision.
-
Not at all, older granite buildings with low ceilings like the ones around Yeo Farm are something we're well equipped to design around, favouring a lower-profile piece that works with the existing structure, not against it, always working to bring out the individual character of the space instead of covering it up..
-
Absolutely, open-plan spaces like this are something we're well placed to design for, building a piece that reads well from a few different angles, not just one seating spot.
