This impressive Grade II*-listed house was built in the William and Mary style of the 17th century. Sitting within over four acres of private grounds, the house enjoys far-reaching views over South Yorkshire’s surrounding countryside. Unfolding over 5,500 sq ft, the house has two fantastic reception rooms, a generous kitchen and eight bedrooms, as well as numerous outbuildings. One of the earliest classically-designed houses of the region, a sympathetic restoration has preserved some of its exceptional original features, such as the trompe l’œil painting crowing the main staircase. Complete with a swimming pool, an entertaining hall, orchards and a greenhouse, the house makes for a wonderful self-contained oasis. 
Dear gawd, where do I sign?!?! This home is soooo checking all my boxes. And (massive Aga) then (pool) some (glasshouse…greenhouse…lake…outbuildings…conservatory…fountain…). For sale via Inigo.

I am really smitten with the moody vibes of this château for sale in Lorient, France built in 1840. The description must have been created using ChatGPT because it’s a large paragraph that says virtually nothing. I can tell you this is 6,889 sq ft, 21 rooms that includes 9 bedrooms, with an absolutely terrible kitchen and oddly, not a single photo of the exterior. BIZARRE. I would have soooo much fun working with some of the existing elements of this and then filling it with much more appropriate antique furniture. For sale for €1,160,000 via Barnes International Realty.

Interior designer Charlotte Boundy found this white-walled 3 bedroom terrace in the West London suburb of Shepherd’s Bush a couple of years ago and slathered it in layers and some really pretty colours and wallpaper (F&B’s Joa’s White, London Stone, Reddish Brown, Setting Plaster, ‘Bengali’ by Braquenié) and turned it into the most relaxing, inviting and incredibly charming home. I am head over heels in love with this (and the dog, named Pig 🙂 ). Photos: Mark Anthony Fox

A cosy, Grade II Listed, country bolthole – full of charm, warmth and character. A carefully curated blend of old and new was used to create the feeling of a home which has organically evolved over time in a magical, bucolic setting.

Sober and elegant, the “Hôtel Dorléans” is one of Valognes’ emblematic monuments. Its construction dates back to the town’s golden age, that of the 18th century, which earned it the nickname of “Little Norman Versailles”. Behind the listed stone facade, the vestibule astonishes visitors because of its size. The rest of the visit is steeped in the history of the premises, including the meticulously restored decors. The spiral stairway, providing a link between the different floors, is a magnificent work of art. The garden, also listed, is a harmonious combination of various species laid out under the protection of a majestic palm laurel tree.
Honey, I’m home. For sale via Patrice Besse for €895,000.
