Real estate stalking in England part 1

Posted on Fri, 24 Jun 2022 by midcenturyjo

Today I’m daydreaming about houses in England. One in the country, one in the city. This elegant Georgian country home sits on seven acres of rolling countryside and verdant garden on the outskirts of Silk Willoughby village in Lincolnshire. 5 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 3 and a half bathrooms, fireplaces aplenty, flagstones, reclaimed boards and outbuildings. A bucolic 18th century farmhouse dream and it’s for sale. You can find the link here via Inigo.

“Inala Apartment aptly named after the aboriginal word meaning ‘resting place’, this 1960s two-bedroom apartment is transformed, its key rooms relocated to maximise a small footprint and forge new connections to light and landscape. With its timeless palette of concrete, stainless-steel and oak, a new sense of calm now prevails.”

Clever storage, open spaces and lovely light. What more could you ask from this contemporary makeover of a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment in Sydney’s Cremorne. Inala Apartment by Brad Swartz Architects.
