The Ivy forms the principal section of a glorious Grade I-listed manor house in Chippenham, built in 1728 for the lawyer and local MP John Norris. It is a seldom-seen example of the high English baroque, set in four acres of gardens designed by award-winning garden designers Julian and Isabel Bannerman. The house has undergone an extensive and highly sensitive programme of restoration works in recent years and is now exceptionally well presented. Internal accommodation extends to over 5,500 sq ft with five bedrooms and a series of beautifully designed living spaces. Additionally, it has an outdoor heated swimming pool.
Between the baroque period architecture, the contemporary art collection, the mix of modern and antique furniture, and the breathtaking gardens, this home is my absolute dream! With a pool to boot!!! For sale via Inigo.

Designer Tim Pfeiffer of Hoedemaker Pfeiffer has crafted his own Seattle condo into a deeply personal reflection of layered design and lived experience. This restored 1920s residence balances historical character with modern utility, creating a warm and masculine retreat. Rich textures—bronze, leather, oak, stone, linen, and wool—anchor the interiors, while an eclectic, open layout encourages ease and conversation. Each room showcases Pfeiffer’s instinct for contrast and craftsmanship, from handwoven wall coverings to sculptural furniture. The result is a soulful, evolving sanctuary where function and beauty are seamlessly intertwined.

We reimagined the layouts of the first, second, and third floors of this early Victorian terraced home,  on a charming tree-lined street in Maida Vale. Our brief was to honour the building’s historic character, restoring original mouldings and architectural details while thoughtfully incorporating natural and reclaimed materials throughout. We re-designed the kitchen with a classical sensibility— to feel timeless, brighter, and more open than the small space belies!
Antiques, bit of colour and some graphic patterns (that paper on the bathroom walls is rice paper printed by hand in the batik method) blend the old with the new and make this a really fun home. And I am obsessed with this kitchen! Designed by Anna Haines. Photos: Paul Whitbread.
