Historic estate with elegant Georgian house only 18 miles from central London. The property provides complete privacy, is walled on all sides with a stone balustrade facing east allowing wonderful views over paddocks and horses, trees and over 3 acres of immaculate lawns and woods. The main house has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, an exceptional, marble-floored entrance hall with octagonal drawing room (original mid 1700’s marble fireplace and cornice) dining room and library leading from it. There is a south-facing terrace with doors from the dining room and library. A bright picture-hung corridor leads to the kitchen and back entrance. There is a stunning indoor swimming pool. There are three flats in the adjacent outbuildings available for a variety of purposes including crew accommodation (6 people, two twin, 1 double, 1 single).

A bohemian farmhouse

Posted on Fri, 17 Dec 2021 by KiM

I had to share another inspiring project by Lauren Liess and I must point out that this one includes the library of my dreams. This modern farmhouse with a cozy bohemian vibe was designed for a busy family of five who love being outside. The home has a mix of colorful patterns and neutrals. Our clients’ overall goal was to create a strong indoor-outdoor connection and easy entertaining. (Architect: Thomas French Builder: Daniel Valencic of Great Jones Build)

Neutral in Madrid

Posted on Thu, 2 Dec 2021 by midcenturyjo

With its restrained, neutral colour palette, eclectic mix of furniture, cool art and layer upon layer of texture this apartment by Madrid-based Estudio María Santos is sophisticated but not stuffy, stylish and welcoming. Think light flowing in through tall windows and a preference for natural materials like wood, stone metal and linen.

A colourful seaside house

A colourful family seaside home and not a coastal cliche in sight. Think fun and fabulous, open plan and private spaces, orange and red, green and blue and don’t forget the yellow. An eclectic richness carefully curated to seem effortless and welcoming. Seaside House by London-based Studio Ashby.
