Modernity reigns in this kitchen designed by Groves Natcheva. The extra-thick worktop adds to the contemporary feel.
Kitchen
Dining area
The Tablemakers table echoes the chunky quality of the limestone work surfaces in the dining room. The pendant lights are from John Lewis.
Living room
The ornate mirror, a family piece, does not look in the least bit out of place with the contemporary coffee table by William Yeoward. The curtain fabric is in a slub silk by Larsen at Colefax and Fowler; the chairs, placed close for casual gatherings, are from Dudgeon.
Console table
On the Philippe Hurel table in the living room are contemporary vases from Rebecca Scott International and lamps by Linley, creating an elegant focal point.
Study
The Dudgeon sofa in the home office adds a cosy feel. On the shelf is a bust of the homeowner's famous forebear, novelist John Buchan.
Reading corner
The walls of the home office are covered in hessian by Schumacher at Turnell & Gigon, while the curtains are in Donnybrook Floral Tea by Ralph Lauren at Designers Guild. A chair from Kingcome Sofas beside a standard lamp by Mr Light provides a relaxing place to read.
Bedroom
In the bedroom, the Alpine cushions were brought back from Switzerland by the homeowner. They pick up the red in the Ian Mankin fabric on the Ochre blanket box.
Bathroom
With its painted panelling and floor, the bathroom has a New England feel. A Lloyd Loom chair from an auction at Criterion sits below a blind in fabric by Nina Campbell from Osborne & Little. The fittings are from Aston Matthews.
