Shaw House is a magnificent Grade II-listed manor built in the early 18^th century and designed in the classical style. It is set within six acres of beautifully curated grounds just east of Bradford-on-Avon and the historic city of Bath. Accommodation exceeds 9,500 sq ft with nine bedrooms and a beautiful ground floor level that interacts wonderfully with the surrounding terraces and sections of private garden. The slightly raised ground level opens to a spectacular entrance hall with hardwood parquet flooring and a fireplace with a bolection moulded surround. Ahead lies a morning room that links the dual aspect dining room on one side and the kitchen on the other. This northern section of the plan also houses a boot room, pantry and cloakroom. Substantial cellars have been repurposed as a laundry room and offer versatile storage. Open fireplaces are present in all the principal rooms on this level. To the left of the central hall are stairs down to a drawing room, set within a 19^th century, two-storey wing of the house. A wide, sweeping staircase ascends from the hall to the bedrooms, dressing rooms and five bathrooms that are distributed across the first and second floors and on intermediate levels at the northern and southern ends of the plan.

YES. This home is SPECTACULAR. I’d be tempted to ask the sellers to sell the furnishings with it. For sale via Inigo.

Sophisticated modern living in a sea side community with nary a beach cliche in sight. Instead strong use of colour emphasised by natural materials, attention to detail and bespoke pieces. What do I love most about this Cardiff by the Sea house by Brazilian-born but southern California based Kitchy Crouse of KC Interior Design? The dark and brooding bar area and that seriously sexy powder room with custom quartzite sink.

“There is a common thread in our work – clean lines, chic materiality and details, a mix of vintage and modern sourcing — but the end result is always unique.”

Have you ever fallen head over heels for a room that you have only seen in a couple of pictures? I have. I’m smitten by this dark and sexy living room. Stylish and brooding. Luxe and enveloping. The rest of the house is gorgeous too. Westport by Monica Fried Design.

Sculptural furniture, cozy fabrics, contrasting dark and light, a bit monastic, very textural….. what comes to mind when devouring these spaces designed by Trevor Cheney.

The dark exterior sits firmly in its woodland setting belying the fact that the interiors are bright, light-filled and welcoming. It’s like night and day. A house that hides and rooms that shine. Upper Road by Mill Valley, California based The Workroom.
