Un romantico cottage nel Surrey

Buona serata…

Che ne dite di un altro fantastico cottage nel Surrey?

Caroline is a regular visitor to the Ardingly antiques market, where she bought this large, French-style farmhouse table and other accessories that decorate the large living area at the front of the house

Light-coloured homeware and furnishings help to make the most of the natural light

A pile of inspiring books hints at Caroline and Rob’s background in interior design

A collection of pretty crockery on a farmhouse dresser completes the look in the living room

The kitchen sits under the catslide roof at the back of the farmhouse and is made from a host of up-cycled and recycled materials

A cosy seating area next to the kitchen catches the morning sun and is the perfect spot for breakfast

Steep stairs, hidden behind a door, lead up from the kitchen

The bricks of a disused fireplace in an upstairs bedroom have been painted white to reflect the light – and avoid the gloominess associated with low, beamed ceilings. A Victorian-style bed is draped with a lovely handmade spread from Love Lane Vintage

Personal touches such as family photos, favourite books and paintings add interest to the carefully decorated and designed bedrooms. The whole ceiling has been painted white, where once the beams were painted black – giving a sense of light and space

Disused stairs have a new lease of life as shelves for plants

Un elegantissimo cottage nel Surrey

Buon pomeriggio…

Vi lascio le immagini di un elegantissimo cottage nel Surrey…

Tara and Mark used to run a business importing Swedish chandeliers

The kitchen table once belonged to Tara’s aunt Colleen and was about to be thrown out and put on the bonfire but Tara saved it. She decided to leave the top as natural wood and white-distress the legs. The kitchen chairs are Lloyd Loom by Neptune and are stocked by John Lewis

A vaulted ceiling and honey-coloured beams above the comforting cream Aga help to make the room feel light and airy. An old clock on the bressumer above the Aga belonged to Mark’s parents and was once natural wood. It was given a distressed white finish by Tara

The modern, clean-white kitchen contrasts with the rustic beams and period features of this Wealden farmhouse

Structural beams remain where once lathe and plaster would have divided the hallway and dining room

This open-plan approach allows lights to fill the downstairs space

The master bedroom is warmed by the natural wood of items such as this large pine wardrobe, which was stripped of black paint, a pine dome-lidded chest and a natural oak chest of drawers. All the furniture came from antiques shops in Rochester, except the upholstered bed, which is by Hypnos

The double-aspect master bedroom looks out over the gardens, which have been a labour of love for Tara and Mark

An ornate mirror is a feature in the classic, welcoming bathroom, where tongue-and-groove panelling adds a country cottage feel alongside the painted wood sink unit

Victorian-style taps adorn the end of a freestanding, roll-top bath

A sheltered corner makes the perfect indoor-outdoor space in which to relax in summer

The garden has many relaxing places to sit and take in the view
