The social heart of the home, an open-plan kitchen and reception room bears all the hallmarks of a country home. Culinary practicality runs alongside a feeling of welcoming homeliness. Reclaimed wood floors set the scene for dining and sitting zones; it’s a convivial space tailor-made for entertaining. A Smeg range oven is perfect for experienced cooks and novice chefs alike. In warmer climes, the garden is a tranquil setting for morning coffees and evening sundowners.
There’s aesthetic sophistication to the staircase, with woven carpets and dark sage panelling uniting each floor with the next. The first-floor living room is a thoroughly inviting space. Furniture is thoughtfully arranged for conversation, with an ornamental fireplace as a cosy focal point. Muted colours and timeless patterns, from the striped armchairs to chintz curtains. Soothing artwork transports you to pastoral plains, whilst books, photographs and ornaments add a personal touch. Prepare a warming tipple at the bar area, curl up with a page-turner or host a backgammon tournament with loved ones. Next door, a light-filled study is set for dedicated home workers.
