Romantics And Classics Style In The English Country House

English country house style looms large in the collective imagination, inspiring fantasies of life in a centuries-old manor house, overlooking verdant hills dotted with sheep.

This book allows to enter some of the most exceptional of England's historic houses that are lived in and decorated for today by their imaginative owners and designers. A stunning collection of twenty charming homes reveal a remarkable wealth of taste and style inspiration, both inside and out, ranging from traditional and classic to contemporary and bohemian, with examples including Haddon Hall, Smedmore, Court of Noke, and The Laskett.

Along with essays on furniture, gardens and colours, this book includes the history of each home, showing how each has become a canvas upon which its owner has deeply imprinted their personality.
